Zircon sand is a naturally occurring mineral composed mainly of Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), sometimes known as zirconia. It is a common source of zirconium, which is a metallic element used in various industrial applications due to its unique properties. Zircon sand typically appears as a light-colored, fine-grained material and is often found in beach and dune deposits, as well as in some mineral sands and sedimentary rock formations.
