  • Black Italic
  • Ultra Light
    Radioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
  • Ultra Light 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.
  • Thin
    Minerals 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 Italic
    Minerals 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.
  • Light
    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.
  • Light Italic
    Zircon often contains traces of radioactive elements in its structure, which causes it to be metamict.
  • Book
    Minerals 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.
  • Book Italic
    The name zircon is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium.
  • Regular
    New York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
  • Regular 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.
  • Medium
    Australia leads the world in zircon mining, producing 37% of the world total and accounting for 40% of world EDR for the mineral.
  • Medium Italic
    Zircons from Jack Hills in the Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, have yielded U-Pb ages up to 4.404 billion years
  • Bold
    Manly 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.
  • Bold Italic
    Zircon is mainly consumed as an opacifier, and has been known to be used in the decorative ceramics industry.
  • Black
    Cursed gems are the exception to the rule, however, for in most respects, gems and crystals are generally looked upon favorably, having properties for good luck, for healing, and in aiding in psychic abilities.
  • Black Italic
    Currently, zircons are typically dated by uranium-lead (U-Pb), fission-track, cathodoluminescence, and U+Th/He techniques.
