Euxenite-Y with Xenotime-Y
specimen number:
2062696
location:
Iveland, Agder, Norway
description: Iveland is a municipality in Agder county, Norway, renowned for its rugged landscape and rich concentration of complex granite pegmatites that have yielded over a hundred distinct mineral species. Among these notable discoveries is euxenite, a brownish-black multiple oxide mineral that frequently crystallizes within the region's coarse-grained pegmatite bodies. Valued by collectors and researchers alike, this mineral acts as a natural host for rare earth elements, often occurring as stout prismatic crystals embedded directly within the local quartz and feldspar matrices.
A sharp crystal measuring 1.0 cm in size on matrix with minor Xenotime-Y. This is in good condition.
