Examples

“Fluocerite in the matrass yields water and at the melting point⟳ of glass the matrass is attacked at a distance from the assay.”

“From an analysis of a specimen from Broddbo, Berzelius considered it a combination of the fluorine and the fluoride of cerium. The name⟳ fluocerite was given by Haidinger. Crystallographic data about the fluocerite from Broddbo have⟳ been published by A. E. Nordenskiöld and G. Flink.”

“This shows that all fluocerites are strongly enriched in LRE but the proportions vary⟳ as shown by the sum of La + Ce + Pr which varies from 70 to 96% of the total RE content.”
