Minor REE Minerals

Other REE-minerals are numerous, but usually unimportant for industrial REE-extraction. In Table 2.4 a list of the other REE-containing minerals known up to now is given (Tasman Metals 2014a Mindat.org 2014 Webmineral.com 2014). Like the major REE-minerals, for many minor REE-minerals several analogues 

Apatite Ca5(P04)3F Apatite is as such not a rare earth mineral, but REEs may concentrate them, in which case they substitute for Ca
