Xenotime-(Gd)
Xenotime-(Gd) is the gadolinium endpoint of Xenotime with the ideal formula . It is one of the few known gadolinium-dominant rare earth minerals. Discovery Xenotime deposits rich in gadolinium were reported in 2023 from the Slovak Ore Mountains along with other rare earth minerals enriched in elements classified as medium rare earth elements (MREE). The mineral species Xenotime-(Gd) was approved by the IMA in 2023, a description of the mineral was published in 2024 based on crystals found within gadolinium rich xenotime-(Y) sampled at the Zimná Voda quartz vein near Prakovce. Besides yttrium, the examined type material bore further rare earth elements such as dysprosium, samarium and terbium Terbium is a chemical element; it has Symbol (chemistry), symbol Tb and atomic number 65. It is a silvery-white, rare earth element, rare earth metal that is malleable and ductile. The ninth member of the lanthanide series, terbium is a fairly ele .... See also * Xenotime group Refe ...

Xenotime Group
The xenotime group is a grouping of mainly phosphate and vanadate minerals in the tetragonal crystal system. They are chemically related to the monoclinic crystal system, monoclinic Monazite, monazite group.
