Columbite Mineral Resources Information And Its Deposits In …
Columbite is a black, crystalline mineral group, and the main ore of niobium which is also called columbate, niobite, and niobite-tantalite [ (Fe, Mn)Nb2O6], it is also a niobate of iron and manganese. It is found in granite, pegmatites, and placer deposits together with tantalite, but has less density. Columbite has the same mineral structure ...

Physical Properties of Tantalite
Tantalite is the tantalum-richer end member, while columbite is the niobium-richer end member. Niobium was previously known as columbium, hence the name columbite. Tantalite differs most from columbite in that it has a much higher specific gravity, 8.0+ versus 5.2 for columbite. Color, transparency, and streak are other …

Tantalite
The decrease of Nb/Ta in columbite– tantalite and of Zr/Hf in zircon is consistent with fractionation of a silicate melt (Linnen and Keppler, 1997, 2002). The most contentious question concerning the magmatic controls of mineralization is how the ore minerals, primarily columbite–tantalite, become saturated.
