** Chemistry nitpick: no chemist would mix the two up like that. That being said, monazites, which contain lanthanides, also can contain some uranium and thorium. If the island is a rich repository of monazites, at the very least someone's going to make a bucketload of cash. Hopefully not Serrat.

** Of course, the actinides get lumped with the lanthanides on the periodic table, and both are often referred to as "rare earth elements" in the public lexicon. The most famous (or at least, the most famous ''naturally occuring'') member of the actinides? Uranium, which is used in nuclear reactors and the synthesis of plutonium and other "synthetic" elements. If that were on the island, it would make it a very valuable target indeed.

*Eh. Rare earths (aka lanthanides) are valuable-but-dull elements mostly known for their use in magnets (neodymium particularly), phosphors, and a couple of other random uses. Serrat would make a decent chunk of (legit) change from them, but there's nothing particularly dark or secret about them.

It may involve the "rare earth" that Serrat is searching for. It may or may not be part of the conspiracy that's going on in America.
