Abstract/NotesAbstractAn unusual form of sector zoning has been recorded in some Lewisian zircons. The sectors lie in a plane cut perpendicular to the c-axis and are observed as variations in the intensity of cathodoluminescence, and in trace-element concentrations. Sectors radiating from the centre of growth out to the {100} faces exhibit low-intensity cathodoluminescence and are enriched in Y and depleted in Hf and Zr. Those radiating to the {110} faces are brightly luminescent, slightly enriched in Hf and depleted in Y. X-ray diffraction data, and comparison with previous studies of zircons, suggest that the sectors vary slightly in crystallographic orientation, such that the boundaries between sectors form discontinuities in the structure.
