Industrial Mineral & Gemstone
Zircon — ZrO₂ 65%
High-grade Nigerian zircon for ceramics, foundry, refractories and gemstone applications.
Product Overview
Zircon is a dual-purpose mineral: an industrial feedstock for ceramics, foundry sands and refractories, and a gemstone prized for its high refractive index and brilliance. Nigerian zircon occurs in heavy mineral sands and alluvial deposits. DCCNL supplies both industrial and gem-quality zircon, assayed and sized to specification.
