Steenstrupine-(Ce) R100205

Name: Steenstrupine-(Ce)
RRUFF ID: R100205
Ideal Chemistry: Na₁₄Ce₆Mn²⁺₂Fe³⁺₂Zr(PO₄)₇Si₁₂O₃₆(OH)₂·3H₂O
Locality: Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville County, Quebec, Canada
Source: Royal Ontario Museum K10061
Owner: RRUFF
Description: Transparent brown blocky crystals on a white sodalite matrix. Our sample is twinned. If we ignored the twin, then we get the reported hexagonal cell of Moore and Shen (1983).
Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed only by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
