A variety of Zircon

A metamict, often Hf-rich variety of Zircon from granite pegmatites.
Original analysis (1855) of material from several localities in Aust-Agder, Norway, shows major Si, Y, Th, Al, Fe and H2O, and possibly Zr, Be and/or Fe; thus, two distinct minerals may have been involved in the original analyses.
