As we have an Ekanite listed this month as well, we thought it might be clever to offer a gem example of the other collected species that is somewhat radioactive. Thus we have what is actually an uncommonly nice Monazite. These are often so included as to be opaque - we have never had one with a relative degree of brilliance. Still quite included mind you, but with a very nice deep red bodycolor and of a significant size. If you have looked at Monazite before, it is likely you will be able to see just how nice this one is.
