Monoclinic

Name:

For Prof. Alexander Alexandrovich Kukharenko (Александр Алексеевич Кухаренко) (1914, Moscow, Russian Empire - 1993), Department of Mineralogy, St. Petersburg University, St. Petersburg, Russia. The suffix/modifier follows the Levinson rule for species with essential REE, indicating, in this case, predominant cerium.
