In this page we offer you a selection of the extremely rare Yttrium Silicate : Thalenite. The far remote locality of Hundolmen , Tysfjord, Nordland (Norway) is the best worldwide occurrence for crystallised Thalenite. Thalenite xls occur imbedded in Y-Fluorite or Alkali-Feldspar. Crystal size may reach 3 cm but 1 cm xls have to be considered extremely remarkable. Thalenite occurs in translucent or transparent monoclinic crystal of pink, pink - brown or pale brown colour often with elongated developemnt. The typical locality is an old feldspar quarry operated until the 80s' and then closed. Today's the pit is filled with water and collecting areas is limited to the remaining outcropping dump and to the submerged dumps. All the specimen come from a lucky find in Summer 2002 from a single stone of about 15 Kg recovered in the submerged dump
