This sharp Aeschynite-(Y) specimen comes from the legendary Molland Farm Pegmatites in Norway’s Iveland District—one of the world’s most famous classic localities for rare-earth element minerals. Collectors value material from this region for its textbook crystallization and superb chemistry, and this piece is no exception. Its characteristic dark bronze-black coloration and subtle resinous luster stand out immediately, representing the finest qualities associated with Iveland pegmatites.

Aeschynite-group minerals from this locality are increasingly scarce on the market as the old pegmatite workings have long since ceased meaningful production. This specimen is an excellent choice for collectors specializing in rare-earth minerals, pegmatite suites, Scandinavian localities, or systematic mineralogy. With its desirable provenance and well-defined aesthetics, it serves equally well as a display piece or as a high-quality reference specimen.
