Synchysite-(Ce) from Kamuderkeusche, Stallhofen, Moosburg, Klagenfurt-Land District, Carinthia, Austria

F2A-VX1Synchysite-(Ce) CaCe(CO3)2F , Bastnäsite-(Ce) Ce(CO3)F , Monazite-(Ce) Ce(PO4) , Siderite FeCO3 , Ankerite Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2

09985640017837054735619.jpg
Kamuderkeusche, Stallhofen, Moosburg, Klagenfurt-Land District, Carinthia, Austria

Largest Crystal Size: 3 ÎĽm

Synchysite-(Ce) (bright grey) intergrown with bastnäsite-(Ce) (white, SE of centre) and monazite-(Ce) (white, NW of centre). In siderite (grey), adjacent to ankerite (dark grey). Hydrothermal alteration of monazite-(Ce) via CO2-bearing fluids has probably caused the crystallisation of the REE carbonates, a process known from many ores and rocks.

SEM micrograph (BSE mode) of a polished section of a galena-bearing siderite-ankerite ore sample.
