“(…) it is noted the singularity of this water to contain Cerium, at a concentration range of some tenths of mg/lt, in its trace components structure. It’s a Rare Earth group element, a group absent of all the sulfurous waters analyzed by us (…)”. Cerium is, effectively, an element than only occurs in the Terras de Bouro granites.
