Formula: REE(PO4), where REE = mostly Y, may contain minor HREE (e.g., U, Th, etc.)
Description: Xenotime is one of the few minerals that start with the letter X. It is the primary ore of yttrium, a rare earth element. Unfortunately, we don’t have a large crystal of Xenotime in our database. It frequently forms together with Zircon, and may even grow together in the same crystals as epitaxial overgrowths. The crystal forms are represented by prismatic crystals, usually with pyramidal terminations, sometimes in stepped pyramids. Often bipyramidal, and occasionally twinned.
