“Private collection of Fulvio Capponi.
Green xenotime crystal at the contact with a purple zircon.
I personally collected it in 2011 and I took the photo through a microscope at 10x magnification.
Identified as xenotime by sight, instrumental analyses are in progress on a similar crystal at the Institute for the Dynamics of Environmental Processes, National Research Council, Milan Organizational Unit.
