System:OrthorhombicHardness:4 - 4½
Member of:Ancylite Group
Name:From the Greek αγκυλός ("ankylos") for "curved", in allusion to its usually rounded and distorted crystal shapes, and the prefix "CALCIO-" in allusion to its composition with CALCIum dominant over strontium, plus the "-(Ce)" suffix due to cerium being the dominant REE.


The calcium analogue of Ancylite-(Ce). The cerium analogue of Calcioancylite-(Nd).
