Zircon

Zircon is a mineral belonging to the nesosilicate group, composed of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO₄). It occurs in a wide variety of colors, including brown, red, yellow, orange, blue, green, or colorless, often with a very brilliant luster.

It is primarily formed in igneous rocks, particularly granites and pegmatites, and constitutes one of the main natural sources of zirconium.
