About the stone

What is Monazite?

Monazite is a phosphate of rare-earth elements that usually contains thorium, so it is mildly radioactive.

The beach sands of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Odisha are famous for monazite. In India it is a regulated atomic mineral, so we list it for information only.

Care & cleaning

Mildly radioactive — store away from living spaces and wash hands after handling.

Made from Monazite
