Kukharenkoite-(Ce) is a barium cerium fluoride carbonate mineral, formula Ba2CeF(CO3)3. It was identified from samples found in the Mont-Saint-Hilaire alkaline intrusive complex, Quebec, and the Khibiny Massif, Kola peninsula, Russia . It was named for Russia n mineralogist Alexander A. Kukharenko (1914–1993).[2][3]
The similar zhonghuacerite, a cerium containing mineral from China , is considered to be either kukharenkoite-(Ce) or huanghoite-(Ce) rather than a valid mineral.[5]
