Zr in the earth crust: 13 mg/kg Zr in the sea water: 0,026 micrograms/L The principal mineral is zircon - a zirconium silicate, ZrSiO4.
Isotope Half Life Abundance Naturally Occurring Isotopes and there abundance 90Zr Stable 51.450 % 91Zr Stable 11.220 % 92Zr Stable 17.150 % 94Zr 1.10×1017 years 17.380 % 96Zr 2.4×1019 2.80 % Zirconium has also aprox. 28 artificial isotopes.
Zirconium tetrachloride is obtained by the chlorination of zirconium dioxide (not zirconium carbide).
Zirconium is an element and so it is composed of zirconium atoms and nothing else.
Zirconium has no odor.
Zirconium hasn't taste.
Zirconium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, a German chemist, while analyzing the composition of the mineral jargon (ZrSiO4) in 1789. Source: education.jlab.org
Hafnium is separated from zirconium minerals.

The Spanish did get their abundance of gold from the people that they conquered. Eventually, they also panned and mined for the gold.
Zirconium tetrachloride is obtained by the chlorination of zirconium dioxide (not zirconium carbide).
It is possible as zirconium alloys (zirconium metallic glasses) or zirconium dioxide ceramics.
Zirconium is an element - as are silver and lead. Therefore, zirconium is not silver nor lead and, conversely, silver is not zirconium, lead is not zirconium.
No. Zirconium is an element and so it contains only zirconium.
A metal tube/pipe made of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.
Zirconium is a metal.
Zirconium has no odor.
Zirconium is a natural chemical element; zirconium is found in some minerals.
