It crystallizes in the hexagonal system. It is typically granular to massive with only rare occurrence of stubby crystals. It is radioactive due to the thorium content. Discovery and occurrenceBrockite was first described in 1962 for an occurrence in the Bassick Mine area, Querida, Wet Mountains, Custer County, Colorado, US. It was named for Maurice R. Brock, of the U.S. Geological Survey.[2] Brockite occurs in granite and granite pegmatite as an accessory mineral. Associated minerals include monazite, bastnasite, xenotime, thorite, zircon, apatite, rutile and hematite.[1] References1. ^1 Brockite in the Handbook of Mineralogy {{phosphate-mineral-stub}}2. ^1 Brockite on Mindat.org 3. ^Brockite data on Webmineral 2 : Phosphate minerals|Hexagonal minerals |
