Formula:
Ce(SiO4)
Colour:
Pale yellow to colourless
Lustre:
Adamantine
Specific Gravity:
5.03 (Calculated)

Tetragonal
Member of:
Name:
Named for the type locality. Originally named stetindite, but renamed stetindite-(Ce) in 2016, according to the Levinson rule.
Ce4+ analog of zircon. Third mineral with tetravalent cerium after cerianite-(Ce) and dyrnaesite-(La). One of the most simple Ce-dominant silicates (compare percleveite-(Ce) and 'UM1979-22-SiO:CeLaNd').
