Locality: MacDonald mine, Hybla, Monteagle Township, Hastings Co., Ontario, Canada

What I presume is allanite (23mm) is lustrous, black mildly radioactive and on weathered surface has greenish colour. Occurs with zircon, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. This was part of a large hunk of pyrrhotite I broke up for specimen recovery.
