Xenotime contains smaller amounts of the radioactive compounds U3O8 and ThO2 than monazite. |
This sector includes mining of titanium-bearing minerals such as rutile, leucoxene, ilmenite, xenotime and monazite, and the industrial minerals zircon, kyanite and garnet. |
Textures of kyanite, xenotime and monazite, and some staurolite and biotite, indicate that peak metamorphic mineral growth occurred after D 2 deformation. |
Zircon, monazite, xenotime and white mica were extracted from the sample. |
One of the rarest of the rare earths, lutetium occurs in rare-earth minerals such as laterite clays, xenotime, and euxenite. |
Pale brown to yellow xenotime and zircon are abundant as fine crystals up to 2 mm in length in many of the miarolitic granite cavities as well as in pegmatite pockets. |
