  • Ultra Light
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Ultra Light 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.
  • Thin
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Thin Italic
    Zircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
  • Light
    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 Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Book
    Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
  • Book Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Regular
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Regular Italic
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Medium
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
  • Medium Italic
    Yellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
  • Bold
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Bold Italic
    During the growth process, crystals are also highly susceptible to consciousness imprinting, whereby the meditations, through-patterns, healing energy or bioelectric field identity of the grower may be enjoined within the crystalline structure and memory.
  • Black
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Black 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.
