This manuscript deals with the analysis of significant rare earth elements (REE) minerals such as eudialyte, lorenzenite, loparite, perovskite, titanite, apatite, and carbonates. These minerals are found in the rocks of the Khibiny, Lovozero, Afrikanda, and Kovdor massifs (the Paleozoic hotspot acti...
