YNbO₄

A great hand specimen of Fergusonite-(Y) from this classic Canadian locale. This specimen has a large crystal embedded in almost a solid piece of Fergusonite 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. This one comes from my personal collection.
