An opaque but glassy, brown and tabular monazite crystal. The termination is chipped. Cavities are rare at this pegmatite, so to find a terminated crystal like this - especially of a species which is rare for the locality - is unusual. Mildly radioactive. Not currently mounted but it could use a standard 'Perkie' thumbnail box with fitting acrylic base (both available here).
