Tantalite Minerals

Tantalite Description:

Tantalite Minerals are actually well-formed crystals with many faces. The mineral group Tantalite [(Fe, Mn) Ta₂O₆] is the main source of the element tantalum. it is chemically similar to columbite, and the 2 are regularly grouped together as a semi-singular mineral referred to as coltan or columbite-tantalite in lots of mineral guides. But tantalite has a mile’s greater specific gravity than columbite (8.0+ compared to columbite's 5.2).

Iron-rich Tantalite is the mineral tantalite-(Fe) or ferrotantalite and manganese-rich is tantalite-(Mn) or manganotantalite. Tantalite is also very close to tapiolite. the one's minerals have equal chemical composition, but unique crystal symmetry orthorhombic for Tantalite and tetragonal for tapiolite.

Tantalite Associations:

Tantalite Color:

Tantalite is black to brown in both color and streak. Manganese-rich tantalites may be brown and translucent.

Tantalite Clarity:

The columbite-tantalite group minerals all appear very comparable; it is impossible to discover them without understanding their chemistry. There had been drawers complete of unnamed columbite-tantalite mineral specimens within the museum’s collection.

Tantalite Origin:

Tantalite has been located in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia (Guainía and Vichada), Egypt, northern Europe, Madagascar, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, The Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States (California, Colorado, Maine, and Virginia), and Zimbabwe. Brazil has the largest hold of tantalite

Tantalite Carat:

Tantalite is too darkish to be of use as a faceted gem however is sometimes reduced as a collector interest, both faceted or in cabochons. these can be of any preferred size.
