But on the other hand!
I am BEGGING you to be the monazite. Please. I already labeled you as monazite. I have no idea what monazite looks like under thin sections. You're too goddamn similar to zircon. Why do you both have to be radioactive.

Based on this post, I decided to do this with my own fusions! Out of all of them, Which one is the most likely to stay fused if given the choice?
(Not all of them have designs but most of them at least have names. Also note that all fusions use they/them pronouns)
The fusion that is most likely to stay that way would be Golden Topaz, My Sven/Howie fusion. They're definitely one of the more stable fusions and could stay that way for a very long time, If they choose to of course.
My Reginald/Right fusion, Bloodstone, isn't a bad contender either. Reginald and Right have been together a long time, So they would be on the same wavelength. The only problem would be their individual flaws that they have trouble talking about, Which could cause their fusion to grow unstable.
You'd think Monazite, My Burt/Dave fusion, Would be stable enough. However, I mentioned that the reason they rarely talk is because Burt and Dave ramble in their head. There's only so long that can last before they've had enough of their own thoughts.
Ellry, Henrles, and Charllie (Basically the Triple Threat fusions) are okay options. But I get the feeling they would also want to stay together separate from any fusion.
Speaking of, Lavender Quartz, Which is a fusion between all three of them, Wouldn't be able to stay fused very long. They only fuse like this once in my planned story and it takes a whole lot out of them. That and they'd be too tall to get anything done.
Bonus: Jay and Scottie's fusion, Fire Opal, Can't stay fused more than an hour without something causing them to unfuse. That's a no.
Designer molecules may help valuable minerals float
Critical Materials Institute researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Arizona State University have studied the mineral monazite, an important source of rare-earth elements, to enhance methods of recovering critical materials for energy, defense and manufacturing applications.
Rare-earth elements occur together naturally in mineral ores such as monazite but are economically challenging to recover. New approaches to separate the valuable ore from unwanted materials are needed.
The research team combined theory and experiment to gain atom-level insights on monazite, providing a first look at surface features important to the design of flotation collector molecules—materials that work like life jackets to buoy up monazite particles on air bubbles from mixed mineral slurries.

Monazite
This is a draft I think I made about several months ago. I'm posting it now because I haven't. even. posted. my. actual. art.
Anyways, let's get on with this, shall we?
Gemsonas giving away!
if you want one send me a message now! (A person can only have one)
Lazurite (she/her) given to @the-ones-who-fall
Cat eye's opal (he/his/him) given to @pb--luizink
Chrysoberyl (she/her) given to @vitreous-gem
Monazite (he/his/him) given to @gemscartoon-ofc
Onyx (he/his/him) given to @gemfactorgems
Pyrope (he/his/him) given to @peridot-facet2f5l-cut5xg

What gems could fuse into Curite?
Heliodor + VanadiniteVanadinite + CarnotiteBetafite + EudialyteHibonite + HeliodorParisite + Monazite
im a dumb bich so i made more gems instead of working on my others
Sulfur + @megademencia Margaritasite = Monazite! Enjoy!
