- Ultra LightCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Ultra Light ItalicSome 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.
- ThinThe green coloring in many rounded pebbles usually indicates the Zircon is radioactive variety.
- Thin ItalicOn 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.
- LightThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Light ItalicThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- BookZircon 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.
- Book ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- RegularCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Regular ItalicChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- MediumCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Medium ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- BoldMinerals 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.

- BlackAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- Black ItalicZircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
