- Ultra LightThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Ultra Light ItalicMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- ThinMinerals 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.
- Thin ItalicRecent 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.

- BookCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Book ItalicZircon 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.
- RegularThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Regular ItalicZircon is a common accessory to trace mineral constituent of most granite and felsic igneous rocks.
- MediumChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- Medium ItalicYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- BoldZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- Bold ItalicNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- BlackThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
- Black ItalicThe green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
