The allanite-(Ce) specimens from Trimouns are a classic of French mineralogy. It should be said that if these crystals are analyzed compositionally, a zoning with dissakisite-(Ce) is observed. Both species belong to the epidote group and are compositionally differentiated by the presence of Fe(II) (allanite) and Mg (the second). In this specimen we can observe several well-defined crystals of this mineral, one of them larger, which contrasts with the dolomite matrix.
