Lighter colored crystals have been referred to as hyacinth or jacinth stones. |
The terms jacinth and jargoon refer to zircons in the old names of the stones. |
She's had Miss jacinth all the afternoon, and she likes her better than me. |
According to St. Epiphanies of Cyprus, the colour of jacinth can be compared to the brilliance of burning fire and its glow is like that of the ember. |
In the revised version the word jacinth is substituted for ligure and amber is given as a marginal rendering for the same. |
The zircon, hyacinth, jacinth, or jargoon belong to the tetragonal system of crystallization. |
