Interestingly... I was wondering about the same.

Certainly not the final answer- but I found this article:

= Scientific Correspondence = Nature 399, 649-650 (17 June 1999) | doi:10.1038/21352 Joachim Kunz1 Pepin1 suggests, mainly on the basis of three studies2, 3, 4, that solar argon, krypton and xenon might be present in the Earth's mantle. But I believe that the analytical evidence is still too weak to claim such a breakthrough in rare-gas geochemistry. Moreover, other studies5, 6, 7, 8, and the new data I report here, indicate that solar argon, krypton and xenon, if present at all, are only a minor constituent of mantle rare gases.

How common is argon?

argon is 1% of air so its pretty coomon i wouldn't say that argon is a goopd source of percentage of air because as you can see argon is a metal and an element so its probably not common


Source of argon?

Argon is sourced from the Earth's atmosphere, where it is the third most abundant gas. It is obtained through the fractional distillation of liquid air. Argon can also be produced as a byproduct of the processing of natural gas and air separation in industrial processes.


Is argon found in minerals?

Argon does occur in potassium-containing minerals as a result of the radioactive decay of K-40. However, this is not a significant source commercially; at nearly 1%, argon is the third most abundant component of the Earth's atmosphere, and it's extracted via fractional distillation of liquefied air.

What does the chemical Ar stand for?

The chemical symbol Ar stands for Argon. Argon is a colorless, odorless, and inert gas that is commonly used in fluorescent lights and welding operations.


What is the natural source of argon?

If you mean the molecule itself, it comes from the decay of radioactive Potassium-40. If you mean pure Argon, they use cryogenic fractional distillation. (A colder version of a method to extract ethanol from water, etc.)
