Monazite
Monazite is a primarily reddishbrown phosphate mineral that contains rareearth elements Due to variability in composition, monazite is considered a group of minerals The most common species of the group is monazite(Ce), that is, the ceriumdominant member of the group It occurs usually in small isolated crystals It has a hardness of 50 to 55 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness and is r
