Abstract Raman spectroscopy is a convenient, efficient, and non‐destructive technique that could estimate the metamictization degree of zircon, particularly for gem‐class or historical samples. The full width at half maximum value of the ν3(SiO4) band around 1000 cm−1 can classify the structural state of zircon as crystallized (the full width at half ...
