1. Tantalite

   The mineral group tantalite [(Fe, Mn)Ta2O6] is the primary source of the chemical element tantalum, a corrosion (heat and acid) resistant metal. It is chemically similar to columbite, and the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral called coltan or "columbite-tantalite" in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much 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. Those minerals have the same chemical composition, but different crystal symmetry: orthorhombic for tantalite and tetragonal for tapiolite.Tantalite is black to brown in both color and streak. Manganese-rich tantalites can be brown and translucent.

1. tantalite

   Tantalite is a heavy, brownish mineral, iron niobium tantalum oxide, which is a major source of tantalum. It is commonly found in association with tin and other minerals. Its importance lies in its usage for capacitors in electronic devices. The name Tantalite comes from the Greek mythology character Tantalus, due to this mineral's resistance to absorption.
