- A reddish-brown mineral containing rare earth metals; an important source of thorium and cerium
- Any of a range of reddish-brown minerals that are mixed phosphates of the lighter rare earth elements lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium and yttrium
- A rare earth phosphate mineral ((Ce,La, Y, Th)PO4) mineral which is common both as minor mineral component in granites and is also common in mineralised lodes in south-west England . Nematodes. ...
- A phosphate of the cerium metals (cerium, didymium, lanthanum) and other rare-earth metals. Monazite-bearing alluviums have been mined for their thorium content (by dredging) in Idaho and elsewhere.
