(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Monazite is an important ore for thorium, lanthanum, and cerium. It is often found in placer deposits. The deposits in India are particularly rich in monazite. It has a hardness of 5.0-5.5 and is relatively dense, about 4.6 to 5.7 grams/cubic centimeter.
Because of the presence of thorium within monazite, it can be highly radioactive. If samples are kept, they should be placed away from minerals that can be damaged by radiation.
The name monazite comes from the Greek mona`zein (to be solitary), in allusion to its isolated crystals.
