Preface

Author (Name, Year)

Donnay & Donnay, 1953

Danger of confusion

Zur Unterscheidung von Parisit–(Ce) und Röntgenit–(Ce) wird vorgeschlagen, im Ramanspektrum das Verhältnis der Banden bei 1092 cm−1 / 1081 cm−1 heranzuziehen. Siehe Manuela Zeug, Lutz Nasdala, Martin Ende, Gerlinde Habler, Christoph Hauzenberger, Chutimun Chanmuang N., Radek Škoda, Dan Topa, Manfred Wildner, Richard Wirth: The parisite–(Ce) enigma: challenges in the identification of fluorcarbonate minerals. Mineralogy and Petrology Vol. 115, Nr. 1 (2021) S. 1–19.
