Abstract
This monazite from Montgomery County is unusual because it contains no Th, U or Fe-group elements. The alexandrite effect (reddish orange under incandescent light, yellow-orange in daylight) is the result of several narrow absorption bands from Nd (super 3+) rather than a small number of broad bands. Microprobe analyses of rim and core are given.
