Aeschynite-(Y)
specimen number:
2062691
location:
Iveland, Agder, Norway
description: Iveland is a municipality located in the Agder region of southern Norway, renowned globally among geologists and mineral collectors for its rich granitic pegmatites. These ancient pegmatite bodies have been extensively mined for minerals such as feldspar and quartz, and they frequently yield rare earth elements. Among the notable discoveries from this district is Aeschynite-(Y), a rare oxide mineral containing yttrium and other refractory metals, typically found as dark, well-formed crystals embedded within the regional pegmatite matrices.
Very choice example for the species, a loose large thick brown opaque crystal without matrix. This is in very good condition all around.
