Rare and abundant??

@DonGuennie, VMS Mosaic, and Chris.urs-o: The one sentence states, "Gadolinite is fairly rare". Two paragraphs down, it states, "Gadolinite and euxenite are quite abundant". We need to decide which is the truth and discard the other. Grammar's Li'l Helper ^Talk 00:58, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mindat.org lists 350 localities. Gadolinite, euxenite, monazite and loparite are sources of REE; other REE-minerals are rares. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 01:31, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
