  • Ultra Light
    Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species, which were determined by the mineral’s geological environment when formed.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Zirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
  • Thin
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Thin Italic
    On the Isle of Skye near Ireland, is a chapel dedicated to St. Columbus, and on the altar is a round crystalline blue stone held sacred to weather and health.
  • Light
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light Italic
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Book
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Book Italic
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Regular
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Regular Italic
    Zircon is ubiquitous in the crust of Earth and it occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, in metamorphic rocks and as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.
  • Medium
    Minerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
  • Medium Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Bold
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Bold Italic
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Black
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Black Italic
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
