Synchysite-(ce) has been discovered only in 1-2 blocks that were covered with Albite and fields of very nice steel blue Anatase crystals on about 15 x 10 cm surface.
Synchysite-(Ce) has a more pinkish hue and not like the typical orange/honey/yellow colour.

Comments S Cuchet:
-it was initially errononeously declared as Synchysite-(Nd). I copied and pasted the text of Synchysite-(Nd) and adapted the suffix to -(Ce).
- The content of Nd is high enough to give this pink to "rasberry hue".

Colour:

The crystal show a rather pinkish colour, I have observed one that turned to have nearly a rasberry hue.
