Cerium is found as a compound of many other rare earth metals, so it is processed using several acids and techniques that rely on the properties of the other metals and their compounds to remove them.

What are cerium's uses?

Why is a inorganic crystalline that is formed in a lab not a mineral?
Minerals are, by definition, found in nature. Thus anything artificially produced in a laboratory is not a mineral, even if it is exactly the same substance as that found in nature. For example, rubies are found in nature as well as being produced artificially, but the artificial ones are not minerals.
Physical state of cerium at room temperature?
The metal curium is normally a solid at anything close to "normal" temperature. It melts at well in excess of 1000 °C. Curium is a synthetic trans-uranium element; it is not found in nature. A link can be found below.

Does neon need to be refined if it is found in nature or is it made in the laboratory?
Neon is a rare gas in the Earth's atmosphere, but is found in the form of gas molecules with a single Neon atom. Neon would need to be refined from the air or produced in the laboratory.

Cerium?
A soft, ductile, and silvery-white metal that tarnishes when exposed to air. It is the second element in the lanthanide series, and while it often shows the oxidation state of +3 characteristic of the series, it also has a stable +4 state that does not oxidize water. Cerium dioxide is employed in the optics industry for the fine polishing of glass.

Where can pure calcium be found?
Pure calcium can usually be found only in a laboratory or chemical supply storage facility; calcium is too reactive to exist in a free state in nature.
How was phosphorus found in nature?
Phosphorous was originally obtained from old bones. Hence the original recyclers, the "Rag and Bone Man". Today it is refined from guano, or from rock phosphate.
