What does "an age of 4.404 Ga" mean?
this should be: "an age of 4.404 x 109years, this age is interpreted as crystallisation age " --Chd
What does "(crystal class: 4/m 2/m 2/m)" mean? Could someone explain it or link to a new page for whatever this system is? -- Tarquin 20:36 Dec 29, 2002 (UTC)

The Narryer Gneiss Terrane says the Jack Hills zircons are 4.4 billion years old but this article says the oldest are 4.04. Isn't the older date correct? Badagnani 06:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, good--I must have misread it! Thanks for the "second pair of eyes." Badagnani 05:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
This article could use a good photo of a faceted gem zircon. There's a photo at the bottom that has some stones in it, but its taken at a distance. Zircon is a very bright gem and a good photo would be a plus for the article. -- 24.21.148.212 ( talk) 06:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
What is a zircon worth in US dollars? Jeremy ( talk) 13:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I erroreously removed the symmetery data while showing a student how wikipedia works. The data was replaced! Many apologies! FVhernly Vince
I cam here looking for info on lunar zircons. Admittedly because of an xkcd comic.

"All we have are these stupid tantalizing zircons and the scars on the face of the Moon"

I was reading a review article in Science (magazine) years ago and recall being startled by the expert's statement that only two minerals are stable on Earth's surface (of course, anything will dissolve with enough time at STP). Years later, I looked in wikipedia to find that information - and it wasn't there. More years later I think I found it: it seems as if the two are quartz and zircon. (According to the guy at salemstate.edu (sorry I lost the link)). If true, it seems as if it is noteworthy enough to include here. Anyone up to consider adding it? I guess for quartz, too - if its not there (that one I remembered from the Science article, so haven't checked the wikipedia entry. 72.172.10.20 ( talk) 23:48, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I have a question abut the text "Synthetic zircons have been created in laboratories[28] but they are only of scientific interest and are never encountered in the jewellery trade." I have some earrings and it says they are made of synthetic zircon, so I wonder of this text should be deleted. Any thoughts? BrightOrion ( talk) 12:36, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
