Ce- and Ba-bearing pryochlores
were examined in the Nb-ore specimen from Araxá, Minas Gerais, Brazil. EPMA chemical analyses and single crystal diffraction works revealed that they are identified as a Nb-analogue of hydroxykenomicrolite, ( ,REE,Ba)2(Nb,Ti)2O6(OH,F), and a Ba-bearing hydropyrochlore, (H2O,Ba)2Nb5+2(O,OH)6(H2O).
