Description from the seller

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1136812601/c6a475d30c

Euxenite is a rare yttrium niobate bearing tantalum, titanium and rare earth elements. It occurs in uncommon chemistry pegmatites.

This is a very big specimen of euxenite from old finds in Madagascar!

Ex coll. Rollet family (Lyon).
The Rollet family owned several mines in Madagascar since 1920, prospecting for new deposits, mining and exporting minerals for industrial uses (mainly phlogopite) but also gemstone roughs and collectable specimens. Founder Marc Rollet was a very early mineral dealer in France. The collection features many specimens of historical and systematic interest from Madagascar, as well as a variety of French and international classics from the last century.
