About Calcioancylite-(Ce)
Formula:
(Ce,Ca,Sr)CO3(OH,H2O)
Lustre:
Vitreous, Greasy
Hardness:
4 - 4½
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Member of:
Name:
From the Greek αγÎșÏ
λÏÏ ("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) and Unnamed (La-analogue of Calcioancylite-(Ce)).
Note: The precise type locality is unknown - the mineral was found at an unspecified place in "Western Lands" (Western Russia or possibly Finland) in a glacial erratic boulder of unknown source; for details and discussion see Pekov (1998).
