Samarskite-(Y), 8 cm, from the Spinelli prospect, Glastonbury, Connecticut. Collected December 26, 2012 with David Bodnar with permission from the property owner. This site has produced the finest Samarskite-(Y) specimens I have seen. The largest we found here was 15 cm. I had wanted to collect the Spinelli prospect for over 30 years before the opportunity came. Eric Quinter collection; Harold Moritz photo.
