Name:	Described as a new mineral by Ellsworth (1927). The name is after the locality of Lyndoch Township, Ontario, Canada. The mineral was found at a pegmatite on Lot 23, Concession XV, Lyndoch Township. This locality is today most probably the one who is called the Beryl Pit (also named Quadeville Beryl Mine and McCoy Mine). The mineral was first recognized by Miller (1898) as a columbite group mineral. Ercit (2002) reinvestigated the type material and foud that it is euxenite-(Y).
Synonym of:	Euxenite-(Y)
