A great hand specimen of Fergusonite-(Y) from this classic Canadian locale. Good crystals are becoming hard to find for this species from this location. Fergusonite can be considered one of those REE-bearing "trashcan minerals" that is a collection of random rare earth elements with Yttrium being the dominant element in this particular species.
