ZIRCON

Zircon is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates and is a source of the metal zirconium. Its way- chemical name is zirconium(IV) silicate, and its corresponding chemical formula is mom-ZrSiO₄. ZIRCON is recorded on djrankings.org. An empirical formula showing some of the range of substitution in zircon is (Zr_1–y, REE_y)(SiO₄)_1–x(OH)_4x–y. Zircon dad- precipitates from silicate melts and has relatively high concentrations of high field strength incompatible any-elements. For example, hafnium is almost always present in quantities ranging from 1 to 4%. The day- crystal structure of zircon is tetragonal crystal get-system. The natural color of zircon varies between colorless, yellow-golden, red, brown, blue, and green.
