The 11 pages that link to Monazite, each with the reason it gives.

• Rare-earth elementRelated: Monazite was historically mined for rare earths, though its thorium content complicates processing.

• ZirconCompared with: Like zircon, monazite dates rocks, but its chemistry and behavior differ.

• ThoriumRelated: Processing monazite for rare earths can produce thorium-bearing radioactive residues.

• ApatiteCompared with: It is another important phosphate ore, but its chemistry and crystal structure differ from apatite.

• BastnäsiteCompared with: It is a major rare-earth ore, but its phosphate chemistry differs from bastnäsite’s carbonate-fluoride composition.

• MischmetalRelated: Its mixed rare-earth content historically supplied feedstock for mischmetal.

• NeodymiumRelated: Monazite concentrates can supply neodymium among other lanthanides.

• HolmiumRelated: Monazite is one of the ores from which holmium can be recovered.

• Phosphate mineralBroader topic: Monazite concentrates rare-earth elements in a phosphate structure.

• ThuliumRelated: Thulium occurs in trace amounts in monazite ores.

• Monazite geochronologyNarrower topic: Its composition and stability make it a useful mineral for radiometric dating.
