Zircon crystals are nearly indestructible, and are some of the only things to survive the hellish pressure and heat of the Haldean Eon, when the earth was formed. The oldest zircons are found in Jack Hills, Australia, where our specimen was found. It may be small, but it's 4.4 billion years old!

This poses a significant danger to Ukraine: while Patriot systems can intercept "Zircons," the country faces an acute shortage of the required PAC-3 missiles.
