Zirconium is a metal recovered from zircon. Zircon is used in mineral form in refractory products, where it is valued for its high melting temperature of 2,550Â°C. Some zircon is processed by chemical leaching to yield elemental zirconium.irconium is a metal recovered from zircon.

The crystal structure of zircon is tetragonal crystal system. The natural color of zircon varies between colorless, yellow-golden, red, brown, blue, and green. Colorless specimens that show gem quality are a popular substitute for diamond and are also known as Matura diamond.ts chemical name is zirconium silicate and its corresponding chemical formula is Zr SiO4. A common empirical formula showing some of the range of substitution in zircon is (Zr 1ây, REE y)(SiO 4) 1âx (OH) 4xây. Zircon forms in silicate melts with large proportions of high field strength incompatible elements.
