Post subject:  Dating Zircon inclusions in Sapphire

I mentioned recently an article I read on Researchgate indicating results of zircon inclusion dating indicated that sapphires in Madagascar are considerably older than those found in the Kashmir region.
This puts into question whether or not they were formed simultaneously when the land masses were joined. It appears unlikely.
