XRD_ANALYSIS:
40 kV - 30 mA, 6.5-9.5 keV
File: zircn522.out, -.mdi
Reference: Borg and Smith (1969).
Found: zircon, trace quartz?
Comment: Zircon very well crystallized. An very weak but distinct reflection that is not indexable as zircon lies in the position of the strong quartz (100). The strongest quartz reflection (101) lies at the position of the strong zircon (200) and thus could not be seen, if present.
