Geochemistry of Cerium
Goldschmidt classification:Lithophile
Ce4+ was one of the ions least depleted from the mantle in the formation of the crust.
Ce3+ was one of the ions least depleted from the mantle in the formation of the crust.
Ce4+ is enriched in Ca-Al-rich inclusions in meteorites relative to the composition of the solar system.
Ce3+ is enriched in Ca-Al-rich inclusions in meteorites relative to the composition of the solar system.
Ce4+ is concentrated in residual soils and sediments (less certainty.)

Element association of Cerium in the Mineral World
This table compares the known valid mineral species listed listed with Cerium and the other elements listed based on the official IMA formula. Note that unlike other sections on this page this includes non-essential elements.

The first data column contains the total number of minerals listed with Cerium and the element listed for that row.

The second data column lists this number as a percentage of all minerals listed with Cerium.

The final data column compares this percentage against the percentage of all minerals that contain the element listed in each row.

Most widespread minerals containing Cerium
This list of minerals containing Cerium is built from the mindat.org locality database. This is based on the number of localities entered for mineral species and is therefore slanted towards minerals interesting to collectors with less coverage of common rock-forming-minerals so it does not give an undistorted distribution of Cerium mineral species. It is more useful when comparing rare species rather than common species.
