Reducing iron oxide levels to 0.07 percent will allow the zircon to meet premium grade specifications. |
A honey-colored to brown zircon continues to be mined that can be heat-treated to lighten the color. |
Quartz is associated most commonly with aegirine and potassium feldspar as well as zircon. |
Among his other discoveries were large zircon crystals found in a small tunnel in North Cheyenne Canyon. |
Rare earth element distributions in the zircons and garnets strongly suggest that the zircon overgrowths formed in equilibrium with garnet. |
The element is almost invariably found in conjunction with ores of zirconium, especially zircon and baddeleyite. |
