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.

Zircon is ubiquitous in the crust of Earth. It occurs as a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks (as primary crystallization products), in metamorphic rocks and as detrital grains in sedimentary rocks.Large zircon crystals are rare.ircon is rare within mafic rocks and very rare within ultramafic rocks aside from a group of ultrapotassic intrusive rocks such as kimberlites, carbonatites, and lamprophyre, where zircon can occasionally be found as a trace mineral owing to the unusual magma genesis of these rocks.
