29761: Monazite - $12 Southern Pacific Silica Quarry, Nuevo, Lakeview Mountains, Riverside County, California Thumbnail - 1.4 x 0.7 x 0.4 cm 1.2 grams Mildly radioactive Specimen status: Reserved Send an email with specimen number to order 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).
