FAU researchers discover new way to find new deposits of rare earths; fayalite

Green Car Congress

Fayalite (Fe 2 SiO 4 ) with extraordinary high heavy REE (HREE) contents in ultramafic cumulates of the Vergenoeg F-Fe-REE deposit (South Africa) provides the unique opportunity to study REE systematics in olivine. While some data for Mg-rich olivine exist, REE data for Fe-rich olivine are almost absent.
