zircon
In this plant, zircon, rutile and ilmenite are separated from the silica gangue.

Zircon may also be transparent making its visual appearance similar to diamond.

Therefore we can assume that the entire lead content of the zircon is radiogenic.

- A common mineral occurring in small crystals; chief source of zirconium; used as a refractory when opaque and as a gem when transparent
- Zircon (including hyacinth or yellow zircon) is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates. Its chemical name is zirconium silicate and its corresponding chemical formula is ZrSiO4. ...
- Zircon was the codename for a British signals intelligence satellite, intended to be launched in 1988, before being cancelled.
- (The Zircons) The Zircons (spelled with a c) were an earlier different group who recorded Lonely Way, The Zirkons (spelled with a k) were a newer group and were an a capella (or doo-wop) group from Bronx, New York, that recorded during the 1960's. ...
- A mineral occurring in tetragonal crystals, usually of a brown or grey colour and consisting of silica and zirconia; A crystal of zircon, sometimes used as a false gemstone
- A mineral found in igneous rocks and in sedimentary rocks made up from fragments of igneous material. It often contains radioactive elements, which makes it useful in some radiometric dating techniques.
- A mineral that can withstand erosion, transport, and other often damaging geological processes. Zircon for this reason is very commonly used in radiometric dating.
- A mineral (ZrSiO4) that is a common accessory mineral in siliceous igneous rocks, crystalline limestone, schists, and gneisses, in sedimentary rocks derived therefrom, and in beach and river placer deposits. ...
- Zircon is a silicate occurring as stubby prismatic tetragonal crystals. It has a strong double refraction and a high dispersion or 'fire', thus making for very attractive cut stones. Zircons occur in a range of attractive shades from colourless to brown, orange, red or yellow.
