Formula:
Ce(Al11Mg)O19
Colour:
light bluish-green
Specific Gravity:
4.16 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Member of:
Name:
The tributary Mizra river flows into the Kishon River, the type locality. The suffix follows the convention for species with essential REE and indicates a predominance, in this case, of cerium.
The first REE-dominant member of the group.
As inclusions in corundum xenocrysts (compare, e.g., sassite and ziroite).
indexed only by the hexagonal P63/mmc magnetoplumbite structure and match the Ce-bearing hibonite cell
