- Ultra LightRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- Ultra Light ItalicResearchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
- 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 ItalicAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- LightZircon 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.
- Light ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- BookThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Book ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- RegularZircon is an important gemstone, with several color forms used in various forms of jewelry.
- Regular ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- MediumThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- Medium ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- BoldResearchers found that same carbon 12 isotope in the diamond specks, indicating that they may have been formed from ancient microbes that were buried deep underground and subjected to enormous pressure.
- Bold ItalicScientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
- BlackSome 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 ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
