- Ultra LightAustralia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
- Ultra Light ItalicThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- ThinZircon 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.
- Thin ItalicThe abundance and diversity of minerals is controlled directly by their chemistry, in turn dependent on elemental abundances in the Earth.
- LightRecent 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.
- Light ItalicZirconium is a chemical element with symbol Zr and atomic number 40.
- BookCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Book ItalicManly P. Hall and other students of esoteric wisdom have also noted that many ancient crystals were produced by ‘zodiacal formulae’ grown at specific times, when the sun, moon and planets were in special heavenly positions.
- RegularThe dark brown to black color observed in most Zircon crystals is caused from iron oxide impurities.
- Regular ItalicZirconium is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates.
- MediumAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Medium ItalicZircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
- BoldScientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
- Bold ItalicZircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
- BlackChemical substitution and coordination polyhedra explain this common feature of minerals.
- Black ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
