The Silius vein system; located in SE Sardinia (Italy) is analogous to other late- to post-Hercynian mineral systems of this type in Europe. The Silius system consists of two main veins; characterized by several generations of fluorite; calcite and quartz; with initial ribbon-like geometries; followed by breccias and cockade-like textures. In this study; aimed at investigating the REE concentrations in the Silius vein system; a REE average of ~800ppm (locally σREE >1500ppm) has been observed in the carbonate gangue of the fluorite orebody. These amounts are related to the presence of the REE-bearing minerals synchysite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y). The chemical composition of synchysite-(Ce) has been obtained by wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS). The average synchysite-(Ce) formula; built on the basis of (CO3)2F and 5 negative charges; is Ca1.07(La0.19; Ce0.36; Pr0.04; Nd0.15; Sm0.03; Gd0.03; Y0.13)(CO3)2F. From their geochemical characteristics; and their textural relationships with other gangue phases; it is likely that synchysite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y) formed at the same P-T-X conditions as the other minerals of the Silius fluorite mineralization. Synchysite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y) at Silius could be related to a local circulation phenomenon; where the REE are derived from a REE-bearing source rock in the basement of southeastern Sardinia; which has been leached by the same fluids precipitating the fluorite/calcite mineralization. REE concentrations contained in the carbonate gangue of still unexploited parts of the Silius vein deposit; as well as in dumps and tailings accumulated during past fluorite processing; could possibly represent a sub-economic by-product of the fluorite exploitation. © 2015 Elsevier B.V;
