Tanta

Tantalite

Image from: https://senzile.com/tantalite/

The mineral group tantalite [(Fe, Mn)Ta₂O₆] is the primary source of the chemical element tantalum. 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).^[2] Iron-rich tantalite is the mineral tantalite-(Fe) or ferrotantalite and manganese-rich is tantalite-(Mn) or manganotantalite. Tantalite is black to brown in both color and streak. Manganese-rich tantalites can be brown and translucent. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalite
