A98BH5: The growth form, apparently a single tabular crystal but it is really a group of laminar crystals having hexagonal outline. They have very deep color and are implanted on a matrix of Dolomite with Calcite. The specimen is elegant and has a very good quality, coming from a locality, now classic, that has not produced good samples for years.

Dissakisite-(Ce) on Dolomite

F26RE8: The mineralogical literature is not clear if we are dealing with Dissakisite-(Ce) or Allanite-(Ce). Both species are the end species of an isomorphic range and most of the samples from Trimouns present colored zones where the darker ones correspond with Allanite-(Ce) (as it is richer in iron) and the lighter areas are Dissakisite-(Ce) We have not analyzed this sample but the uniform color, and especially it lightness, indicate that it is poor in iron so we guess that it is Dissakisite-(Ce)
