Description and Uses

Zircon (ZrSiO4) is an accessory nesosilicate mineral found in granites and, due to its high Mohs hardness of 7.5 and chemical inertness, it concentrates in the weathering products of mother igneous rocks such as in alluvial placer deposits and beach sands. Because of its chemical inertness and high melting point, zircon is wetted less easily by molten metal, producing smoother surfaces on iron, high alloy steel, aluminum, and bronze casting.

Zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) is one form of the mineral whose crystals when polished are known as cubic zircons, which resemble diamond gemstones.
