Abstract
Characteristics of metamict zircon and its relationship to granites are reviewed.The degree of metamictization of zircon increases with increasing acidity and alkali contents of the granites.It is evident that zircon metamictization is caused mainly by radioactive radiation from radioactive elements contained in it rather than by hydrolysis.
