A fine specimen of aesthetic Monazite. This is in fact one of the sharper and more complete specimens I have seen from this find and thus why I have held on to it for last. I am parting with my fine pieces so ehre is a nice chance to get a great specimen from this exceptional find.
This is quite a rare, new discovery with the very interesting element Samarium making an appearance rather than the usual abundant Thorium.
From Ekiti, Kara State, Nigeria.
Over 3,000 cpm on Radiacode 103 makes this quite radioactive for a Monazite!
