A rare-earth mineral contains one or more rare-earth elements as major metal constituents. Rare-earth minerals are usually found in association with alkaline to peralkaline igneous magmas in pegmatites or with carbonatite intrusives. Perovskite mineral phases are common hosts to rare-earth elements within the alkaline complexes.
As of January 2025, the IMA - CNMNC List of Minerals lists 6,118 valid minerals, including 1,153 pre-IMA minerals (grandfathered), and 97 questionable minerals. [2] Also as of November 2024 [update] , the Mineralogical Society of America's Handbook of Mineralogy lists 5,663 species, [ 3 ] and the IMA Database of Mineral Properties/RRUFF Project ...
This is a list of minerals which have Wikipedia articles. Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species .
Last week, Ukraine agreed to a rare earth minerals deal with the US in a bid to secure support to end the war after the Trump administration dropped some of its toughest demands. But a tense ...
The principal sources of rare-earth elements are the minerals bastnäsite (RCO 3 F, where R is a mixture of rare-earth elements), monazite (XPO 4, where X is a mixture of rare-earth elements and sometimes thorium), and loparite ((Ce,Na,Ca)(Ti,Nb)O 3), and the lateritic ion-adsorption clays.
This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letter M.The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names; however, minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date.

The mineral occurs mainly in metamorphosed clay-rich sediments and felsic igneous rocks. It has the general formula A 2 M 3 Si 3 O 12 [OH], where the A sites can contain large cations such as Ca 2+ , Sr 2+ , and rare-earth elements , and the M sites admit Al 3+ , Fe 3+ , Mn 3+ , Fe 2+ , or Mg 2+ among others.
