Item Description

Mineral specimens of ANY species are RARE from this obscure recently discovered Ta-Sn deposit in Egypt. A striking 360-degree cluster of lustrous, metallic-looking, parallel-growth tabular tantalite-(Mn) crystals with wine-red color is jauntily set atop the quartz and tantalite matrix. RARE and excellent combination material from the Matioli Collection.
