Thorium dioxide, also called thorium oxide, is a crystalline solid, often white or yellow in color. It was formerly known as thoria or thorina. It is produced mainly as a by-product of lanthanide and uranium production. Thorianite is the name of the mineralogical form of thorium dioxide.

Only a few elements and a few compounds have higher melting points.).
