- Ultra LightThe name derives from the Persian zargun meaning gold-hued; this word is corrupted into “jargoon”, a term applied to light-colored zircons.
- Ultra Light ItalicMinerals are classified by key chemical constituents; the two dominant systems are the Dana classification and the Strunz classification.
- ThinRadioactive dating shows that the zircon crystals were formed more than 4 billion years ago.
- Thin ItalicMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- LightCommercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals.
- Light 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.
- BookMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Book ItalicNew York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live.
- RegularSilicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth’s crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals.
- Regular ItalicAs short and stubby crystals, as well as prismatic which are sometimes elongated.
- MediumScientists then studied the diamonds’ composition, looking specifically at their carbon isotopes.
- Medium ItalicCrystals are almost always terminated with a pyramidal termination, and may be doubly terminated, and occasionally entirely pyramidal resembling an octahedron.
- BoldSome 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 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.
- BlackMineral classification schemes and their definitions are evolving to match recent advances in mineral science.
- Black ItalicThe English word “zircon” is derived from “Zirkon”, which is the German adaptation of this word.
