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