A radioactive mineral consisting of thorium silicate. 2, record 3, English, - thorite
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The radioactivity of thorite often brings it to a state of metamiction, in which its crystal structure becomes unstable thereby causing the crystal edges to become smooth and rounded. When this happens, the thorite may gain hydroxyl(OH) molecules in place of the silica(SiO4) molecules and transform into a different mineral, thorogummite. 3, record 3, English, - thorite
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Thorite is currently an important ore of uranium. A variety of thorite often called "uranothorite" is particularly rich in uranium... Other varieties of thorite include "orangite, "an orange variety; "calciothorite" an impure variety with trace amounts of calcium and "freyalite" actually a discredited variety containing cerium([which] turned out to be an altered form of the mineral melanocerite). 4, record 3, English, - thorite
