| Name: | Brøgger (1906) gave the name blomstrandine to a "Yttrium-Aeschynit", a black mineral found in a pegmatite at Urstad feldspar quarry, Hidra, Vest-Agder, Norway and 6 other localities in south Norway. The name is after the swedish professor Christian Wilhelm Blomstrand (1826-1897) who did the chemical analysis. Brøgger had earlier in 1879 published a crystallographic description of the same mineral from Urstad- but then without any chemical analysis. The mineral was later renamed Aeschynite-(Y) following Levinson (1966) | ||
