An extraordinary specimen. A group of two crystals, one of them twinned, dominant and bigger, showing parallel growth following the twin plane. The definition of the crystal is magnificent. Although its color is not red the analysis determined it is really Tantalite-(Mn). We’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
Also, this specimen was photographed for the ‘what’s new at St Marie 2006’ section of the magazine ‘Minéraux et Fossiles’ and appears on page 21 of number 353. We will send the purchaser a copy of the magazine.
