Name:After J.J. Paris, former Manager of the Muzo emerald mine, Muzo, Columbia.


Crystals pseudohexagonal, oscillatory and sceptered due to intergrowths parallel to the pseudo-{0001) with Bastnäsite-(Ce), Synchysite-(Ce), Röntgenite-(Ce) and Cordylite.

The Ce-analogue of Parisite-(Nd) and Unnamed (La-analogue of Parisite-(Ce)).

Very rare; can be distinguished from Synchysite-(Ce) only by analytical methods.

Physical Properties of Parisite-(Ce)

Lustre:Vitreous, Resinous, Pearly
Diaphaneity (Transparency):Transparent, Translucent
Comment:Lustre pearly on the {0001} parting.
Colour:Brown, brownish-yellow, waxy yellow, gray-yellow; colourless to yellow in transmitted light.
Hardness (Mohs):
Tenacity:Brittle
Cleavage:Distinct/Good
On {0001} (or parting) present at times apparently due to alteration.
Fracture:Splintery, Sub-Conchoidal
Density (measured):4.33 - 4.39 g/cm3
Density (calculated):4.38 g/cm3

Crystallography of Parisite-(Ce)

Crystal System:Monoclinic
Class (H-M):m - Domatic
Cell Parameters:a = 12.305Å, b = 7.1056Å, c = 28.2478Å
β = 98.246°
Ratio:a:b:c = 1.732 : 1 : 3.975
Unit Cell Volume:V 2,444.30 ų (Calculated from Unit Cell)
Morphology:Crystals commonly acute double hexagonal pyramids; prismatic in appearance at times due to oscillatory combination of steep pyramids. True prism faces are either lacking or are very small. Also trigonal (or possibly rhombohedral in development). Elongated crystals have locally enlarged portions at times, or have sceptre-like terminations. Lateral faces are striated or deeply grooved. {0001} very commonly present as small faces, large at times.
