- Ultra LightCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Ultra Light ItalicConnected to internal radiation damage, these processes partially disrupt the crystal structure and partly explain the highly variable properties of zircon.
- ThinThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Thin ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- LightAs short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
- 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.
- BookMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- Book ItalicCurrently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
- RegularMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Regular ItalicYellow, orange and red zircon is also known as “hyacinth”, from the flower hyacinthus, whose name is of Ancient Greek origin.
- MediumCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- Medium 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.
- BoldMinerals can be described by their various physical properties, which are related to their chemical structure and composition.
- Bold ItalicThe name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
- BlackAn interesting habit occasionally exhibited in Zircon from a few localities is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Black ItalicRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
