Item Description
Sharp, terminated crystal of Tantalite from Brazil. This 3.2 cm-wide crystal is exceptional for its size, and the lustrous straited faces are very attractive. The main termination is nearly complete, and very sharply carved with only a few minor bits of edge wear. VERY HEFTY, these minerals! Overall, an excellent and aesthetic Tantalite.
