Item Description
A sharp and lustrous fan-shaped radial sheaf of wide tabular columbite crystals, with minor muscovite and albite. The curved termination is nifty. Unusual and hefty crystal from a fine historic locale! One side and the base are contacted, but are out of sight. Ex Wesleyan University and Dr. Bruce Jarnot (a noted collector of niobium/tantalum minerals) Collections. A rare oldtimer valued $400-500
