Kukharenkoite-(Ce) is a barium cerium fluoride carbonate mineral, formula Ba2CeF(CO3)3. It was identified from samples found in theMont-Saint-Hilaire alkaline intrusive complex,Quebec, and theKhibiny Massif,Kola peninsula,Russia. It was named forRussianmineralogistAlexander A. Kukharenko (1914–1993).[3][4]
The similarzhonghuacerite, a cerium containing mineral fromChina, is considered to be either kukharenkoite-(Ce) orhuanghoite-(Ce) rather than a valid mineral.[5]
