jargoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pale zircon' is the definition.
'jargoon' can be an answer for 'zircon' (jargoon is a kind of zircon). I am not sure about the 'pale' bit.

'gibberish about ordinary' is the wordplay.
'gibberish' becomes 'jargon' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'ordinary' becomes 'O' (abbreviation eg in O-Level, Ordinary Level).
'jargon' going around 'o' is 'JARGOON'.
