PhotosZircon - Thomas Range, Juab Co., Utah, USA

Or thorite?

I had some specimens similar to this many years ago, and was told, by more knowledgable persons than I, that they were uraniferous thorite.

Is there anything in

Ream, L. (1979): The Thomas Range, Wah Wah Mountains, and vicinity, western Utah. The Mineralogical Record: 10: 261-278.

on the differentiation between differently coloured zircons and thorites?


PS It seems surprising that xenotime has never been reported from the Thomas Range (at least according to the Mindat page).
