tantalite

Japanese: tantalite
tantalite

...In group IVA, there are minerals of zirconium and hafnium, such as zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) and hafnon (HfSiO 4 ) . In group VA, there are minerals of niobium and tantalum, such as columbite (Fe 2+ , Mn)Nb 2 O 6 and tantalite (Fe 2+ , Mn) 2 Ta 2 O 6 . In group VIIA, there are minerals of rhenium, such as natural rhenium (Re). ...

From [Niobium and Tantalum Minerals]

...Due to the radioactivity of the radioactive elements contained, the lattice is often broken and the mineral is optically and X-ray amorphous, which makes chemical analysis difficult, and many mineral species remain unclear. Columbite (Fe,Mn)(Ta,Nb) 2 O 6 (Nb>Ta) and tantalite (Fe,Mn)(Ta,Nb) 2 O 6 (Ta>Nb. Orthorhombic crystal system, specific gravity 8) form a solid solution series and occur in granite pegmatites and alluvial deposits, and are important ores of tantalum and niobium. ...
