Certainly not for the casual collector, we do occasionally like to offer fine examples of this very rare gem material from Mogok. As the name suggests, the mineral has a high thorium content and is, rather radioactive. Along with Monazite, Ekanite and a few others that share this quality, it makes a fascinating collection piece - though not a stone to mount in a ring! This one is entirely transparent, though quite dark; there are a few veils/fractures that actually allow you to see the dark green bodycolor. Not often seen.
