Zircon is a zirconium silicate mineral with the formula ZrSiO₄. It has a high refractive index and strong brilliance. Zircon comes in many colors: colorless, yellow, brown, red, and blue. Crystals often form in igneous and metamorphic rocks, but can also appear in sedimentary deposits. Zircon is prized in gemology and used in radiometric dating due to its uranium content. Major sources include Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Australia, and Tanzania. This page explores zircon’s features, uses, and place in mineral collections.
