β 'Parisite' Formula: Ca(Ce/La/Nd/REE)2(CO3)3F2 Description: Interesting brown-cream colored prismatic crystals with excellent cleavage are parisite, a cerium carbonate mineral.

These crystals are generally about 5 mm or less, but have been found to about 1 cm. Rarely they will have a dusting of extremely tiny pyrites. Note the undulating growth along the prism and the fat midsection of the rear crystal.
