Euxenite-(Y) from
Kawadgaon-Challanpara pegmatite field, Dantewada District, Chhattisgarh, India


Locality type:Pegmatite Field
Classification
Species:Euxenite-(Y)
Formula:(Y,Ca,Ce,U,Th)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2O6
Comments:Euxenite occur in thin pockets in association with greisenised zones. Polished sections are optically isotropic because of their metamict nature. At normal temperatures, euxenite do not show its characteristic XRD patterns; however, on heating at about 800 euxenite show its characteristic XRD patterns.
