  • Ultra Light
    Zircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Thin
    The name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
  • Thin Italic
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Light
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Light Italic
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Book
    Zircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
  • Book Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
  • Regular
    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.
  • Regular Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Medium
    Zirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
  • Medium Italic
    The green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
  • Bold
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Bold 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.
  • Black
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Black Italic
    Crystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
