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