Is zircon metamorphic or igneous

Zircon is primarily considered an igneous mineral, commonly found in granitic rocks and other igneous formations. It can also occur in sedimentary environments due to weathering and erosion of igneous rocks. While zircon itself is not typically formed through metamorphic processes, it can be present in metamorphic rocks as a result of the alteration of the original igneous source material. Overall, its main association is with igneous geology.
