Mineralogical Features of Columbite from Rare-Metal …

Columbite (Fe, Mn) (Nb, Ta) 2 O 6 concentrates tantalum and niobium in the Zashikhinsky massif ore. It occurs in all facial varieties of granites. It produces both large (2–5 mm), and small (less 0.5 mm) black grains. In places it is found as flattened elongated pinacoid {010} and prismatic {001} crystals (Fig. 1 ).

The geochronology of the rare metal pegmatite deposits

The columbite-tantalite group minerals [(Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6] are critical ore minerals of niobium and tantalum in rare metal pegmatite deposit. These minerals can be used for U–Pb dating because of high U and low Pb contents ( Romer and Smeds, 1994, Romer and Smeds, 1996, Romer and Smeds, 1997 Legros et al., 2019 ).
