Description
Colorless tetragonal crystals. Zirconium silicate occurs in nature as the mineral Zircon, which is commonly found in beach sand (South Carolina, Florida). Zircon is used as a glaze ingredient, an abrasive, a catalyst, a refractory material in fire brick, and an opacifier in ceramics.
Synonyms and Related Terms
zirconium orthosilicate; zircon
