Synchysite-(Ce)
Synchysite-(Ce) is a carbonate mineral and an end member of the synchysite group. The general chemical formula is Ca(Ce,La)(CO3)2F.[2]

Discovery and naming
Synchysite-(Ce) was discovered in 1900 by Gustaf Flink.[3] The name is derived from the Greek "σύγχΰσις", meaning "confounding", a reference to the possibility to confuse the mineral with Parisite-(Ce).
Occurrences
Synchysite-(Ce) is found in rare-earth element bearing pegmatites.[4] It can also occur as a hydrothermal mineral in granite, alkalic syenite and carbonatite.[1]
gollark: If some things make it smaller it means they appear repeatedly. So this leaks secret data.
gollark: With compression, an attacker can make the client browser send different things in the headers it DOES control, and see which ones cause the size to be smaller.
gollark: Or obviously the cookies.
gollark: It's quite interesting. Basically, the cross origin model allows other sites to send arbitrary POST/GET requests with some constraints on headers with access to browser cookies and such, but not see the response.
gollark: Header compression is actually supported in some stuff but disabled due to security issues due to the awful cross origin model.
