Item Description

Fergusonite was once a valid species, but has since been split into three species: Fergusonite-(Ce), Fergusonite-(Nd) and Fergusonite-(Y) respectively. I'm not sure specifically which species this piece is unfortunately, and it would probably need microprobe analysis to determine its chemical content. A rich brownish-black section of Fergusonite sitting on matrix from the lesser known locality at Hogetveit. RARE on the market and certainly worth picking up if you collect rare earth pegmatite minerals.
