Short summary
Åsgruvanite-(Ce) is a new rare Earth element (REE) mineral from Åsgruvan in Västmanland, Sweden, linked to Bastnäs-type mineralisation. The chemical formula ideally includes cerium, aluminium, silicon, arsenic, carbonate groups, chlorine, and fluorine. The mineral forms small, grey-green, lustrous grains with distinct cleavage and high density and is associated with carbonates and REE minerals like gadolinite and an allanite-like mineral. It has a unique layered crystal structure.
