Extract

Florencite-(Nd) [(Nd,Ce)Al3(PO4)2(OH)6], was first described by Milton and Bastron (1971) from fracture surfaces in weathered cherts of the Franciscan Complex, south of Sausalito in Marin County, California. Florencite-(Nd) occurred there as a moderate-brown pulverulent earthy material; individual crystals were not discernible under microscopic examination. A semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis showed the presence of Nd (3 wt. %) and Ce (0.5 wt. %). No powder data for florencite-(Nd) exists in the current powder diffraction file.
