  • Ultra Light
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    The dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
  • Thin
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Thin Italic
    Some 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.
  • Light
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Light Italic
    Cursed gems are the exception to the rule, however, for in most respects, gems and crystals are generally looked upon favorably, having properties for good luck, for healing, and in aiding in psychic abilities.
  • Book
    Recent experiments, for example, have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
  • Book Italic
    Manly P. Hall and other students of esoteric wisdom have also noted that many ancient crystals were produced by ‘zodiacal formulae’ grown at specific times, when the sun, moon and planets were in special heavenly positions.
  • Regular
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Regular Italic
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Medium
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Medium Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Bold
    Researchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
  • Bold Italic
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Black
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Black Italic
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
