Niobium and tantalum mineral

Japanese: ニオブ・タンタル鉱物 - ニオブタンタルこうぶつ(英語表記)niobium and tantalum mineral
Niobium and tantalum mineral
A mineral containing niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) as its main components. Niobium and tantalum have very similar properties, and in nature they always occur together. Fergusonite (ABO 4 ) , euxenite (AB 2 O 6 ) (orthorhombic crystal system, specific gravity: about 5), and samarskite (chemical formula: intermediate composition between AB 2 O 6 and ABO 4 , in both cases the number of A + B is half the number of O). Since the following elements A and B can be substituted for each other in the crystal, it is difficult to express them with a single chemical formula.
