ZIRCON Indian Minerals Yearbook 2017
Z ircon (ZrSiO 4) is found usually as a constituent in heavy mineral sand assemblages, which include ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, monazite and garnet in varying proportions. Zircon sand and baddeleyite (an oxide-ZrO 2) are used via their salts to extract zirconium and hafnium. Normally, all zirconium compounds contain between 1.4% and 3% hafnium.
