- Ultra LightThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Ultra Light ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- ThinMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- Thin ItalicThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- LightThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- Light ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- BookZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- Book ItalicZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- RegularThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- Regular ItalicSome rocks, such as limestone or quartzite, are composed primarily of one mineral—calcite or aragonite in the case of limestone, and quartz in the latter case.
- MediumRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- Medium ItalicCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- BoldCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Bold ItalicThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- BlackSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
- Black ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
