“…In Japan, allanite-(Ce), having an idealized formula (Ce,Ca,YMAI,Fe3+h(Si04h(OH), most commonly occurs in granite, granitic pegmatite, gabbroic pegmatite, monzonite pegmatite and granodiorite (Omori & Hasegawa 1956, Nagashima & Nagashima 1960, Hasegawa 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, and rarely in metamorphic rocks (Sakai et al 1984, Banno 1993.
