Template:Short description Template:Infobox mineral Cerite is a complex silicate mineral group containing cerium, formula Template:Chem.[1] The cerium and lanthanum content varies with the Ce rich species (cerite-(Ce)) and the La rich species (cerite-(La)).[2][3] Analysis of a sample from the Mountain Pass carbonatite gave 35.05% Template:Chem and 30.04% Template:Chem.[1]
Cerite was first described in 1803 for an occurrence in Bastnäs in Västmanland, Sweden.[4] The lanthanum rich species, cerite-(La) was first described for an occurrence in the Khibina massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia in 2002.[5]
