- Ultra LightCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- Ultra Light ItalicAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- ThinYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- Thin 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.
- LightMinerals 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.
- Light ItalicConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- BookMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- Book ItalicNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- RegularThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Regular ItalicChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- MediumCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Medium ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- 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.
- Bold ItalicZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- BlackOn 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.
- Black ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
