Kesebolite-(Ce)

Monoclinic root IMA approved

Kesebolite-(Ce) is a rare mineral with a monoclinic crystal system and a space group of P2₁/c. It is a complex cerium-bearing mineral, primarily composed of cerium, manganese, and oxygen. As a monoclinic mineral, it forms in a crystal structure that is characterized by three unequal axes, with one axis inclined. Kesebolite-(Ce) is part of the oxide mineral group and is known for its metallic luster and dark coloration. It has a relatively high density and is typically found in oxidized zones of mineral deposits. Its classification as an oxide reflects its chemical composition and structural properties.
