Wakefieldite-(Y)Added:
Welcome back to Chris Loves Rocks. It's time for another Monday mineral and this week's mineral is wakefieldite-Y.
It's a vanadate. Chemical formula Y V O 4.
Crystal system tetragonal.
Hardness 5, cleavage good, and habit prismatic.
It's named for Wakefield Lake in Canada.
But you can't find that on a map anymore because it was renamed Lac Saint-Pierre.
And it is the yttrium version of the Wakefield group of minerals because uh with all these rare earths, we've decided to uh split them up for some reason.
There you go.
