About Västmanlandite-(Ce)Hide

Formula:
CaCe3(MgAl2Mg)[Si2O7][SiO4]3F(OH)2
Colour:
Dark brown
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
6
Specific Gravity:
4.51 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named after Västmanland county, Bergslagen region, Sweden, the type locality. The suffix follows the Levinson rule for species with essential REE and indicates, in this case, the predominance of cerium.
A complex REE-silicate, visually similar to allanite-(Ce) and other members of the allanite group.

Closely related to Perbøeite-(Ce) and Ferriperbøeite-(Ce).
See also Unnamed (Fe-analogue of Västmanlandite-(Ce)).

Chemically related to dissakisite-(Ce), dollaseite-(Ce), manaevite-(Ce), gatelite-(Ce), and somewhat to khristovite-(Ce).

Unnamed (as yet) valid analogues: UM2007-35-SiO:AlCaFFeMgREE and UM2007-36-SiO:AlCaFFeMgREE.
