The rare-earth elements (REE), also called the rare-earth metals or rare earths or, in context, rare-earth oxides, and sometimes the lanthanides (although scandium and yttrium, which do not belong to this series, are usually included as rare earths), are a set of 17 nearly indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals.

Wakefieldite

Wakefieldite is an uncommon rare-earth element vanadate mineral. There are four main types described of wakefieldite- wakefieldite-(La), wakefieldite-(Ce), wakefieldite-(Nd), and wakefieldite-(Y), depending upon the dominant rare-earth metal ion present. Wakefieldite has a Mohs hardness ranging from 4 to 5. Wakefieldite-(Ce) and wakefieldite are tetragonal minerals and vanadate minerals.

Xenotime group

The xenotime group is a grouping of minerals containing anhydrous phosphates and vanadates. Wakefieldite-(Ce) and xenotime group are mineral stubs and vanadate minerals.
