The richest source of caesium in nature, at least in 1985, was a deposit of pollucite, a mineral that is hydrated mixed silica of aluminum and caesium, near Bernic Lake, Manitoba, Canada. The primary uses of the element are in photoelectric cells, as a hydrogenation catalyst, in atomic clocks, and in ionic propulsion systems for space vehicles.
