Gadolinite-(Y) crystals on matrix3D ModelNoAI
Locality: Ytterby, Sweden
No.: 5742
Size: 6.1 x 4.2 x 1.9 cm
Formula: Y2Fe(II)Be2Si2O10
Description: This specimen is from Ytterby (Sweden), a Quartz quarry active from the 17th century, later feldspar quarry, in granite pegmatite. The Gadolinite-(Y) is black and vitreous, embedded in quartz ± K-feldspar matrix. Most of the rare earth elements were discovered in Gadolinite minerals from Ytterby. Ytterby is perhaps most famous for being the single richest source of elemental discoveries in the world; the chemical elements yttrium (Y), terbium (Tb), erbium (Er), and ytterbium (Yb) are all named after Ytterby. Other elements were discovered here: Gadolinium, Holmium, Thulium, Scandium, Lutetium, Tantalum.
