  • Ultra Light
    Connected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
  • Ultra Light Italic
    Recent 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.
  • Thin
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Thin Italic
    Zirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
  • Light
    Mineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
  • Light Italic
    Minerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
  • Book
    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.
  • Book Italic
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Regular
    As short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
  • Regular Italic
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Medium
    Chemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
  • Medium Italic
    Scientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
  • Bold
    Recent 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.
  • Bold Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Black
    The English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
  • Black Italic
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
