Summary

A new analysis of the type material of cheralite specifies the individual rare earth elements. Unit cell contents are: (REE1.58Th1.15Ca1.03Pb0.05U0.15)3.96 (P3.67Si0.33)4.01O16. Refinement of the cell parameters based on new XRD data shows that a = 6.7515 ± 0,0005 Å, b = 6.9625 ± 0.0005, c = 6.468 ± 0.0005, β = 103° 53′, giving a cell volume of 295.2 Å3. Space group P21/n.
