where is zircon found
Zirconium is never found as the free metal. The main ore is Zircon (ZrSiO 4) and this is found in deposits in Australia, Brazil, India, Malysis, Russia, and the USA.All these minerals contain a little hafnium as well and the separation of the two is difficult.irconium is found in S-type stars, and has been identified in the sun and meteorites. Analyses of lunar rock samples show a surprisingly high zirconium oxide content as compared with terrestrial rocks. Some forms of zircon (ZrSiO 4) have excellent gemstone qualities.
