Know All All About AboutZircon Zircon Gemstone Gemstone Know
What Is Zircon Gemstone? Zircon is zirconium silicate mineral, whose chemical composition is ZrSiO4.
Zircon is present in soils and clastic sediments.
Zircon is used nearly 2000 years. Zircons are used in wide variety of manufacturing products and industrial products.

Geological Occurrence of Zircon
Zircon is a primary accessory mineral of Granitic Rocks
Largest crystals of Zircons are formed in Pegmatities, Carbonate Igneous Rocks known as Hydrothermal Metamorphism.
When rocks units containing weathered and sediments, then enomerous numbers of tiny zircon crystals are dispersed.
Minning Of Zircon
I.
Zircon has been mined from stream gravels for over 2000 years.
II. The specific gravity of zircon is 4.6 to 4.7 which is higher than the typical sediment grain that is b/w2.6 to 2.8. III. It has been produced from Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Myanmar, Australia and so on.
Zircon Origins
Zircon Sources includes Combodia, Burma, Sri Lanka, Australia, Pakistan and Afganistan.
Uses Of Zircon Gemstone 1
Zircon has low expansion coefficient and high temperature. Zirconium dioxide is produced by heating zircon sand to high temperature to break down the zircon molecule.
