Caesium is found in pollucite [(Cs4Al4Si9O26).H2O] and as trace in lepidolite. Used as a 'getter' to remove air traces in vacuum and cathode-ray tubes. Also used in producing photoelectric devices and atomic clocks. Since it ionises readily, it is used as an ion rocket motor propellant. The price of 99.8 % pure cesium metal is 461.80 € for 50 g.
