Description

This is an exceptional and pretty uncommon variety of Tantalite called Mangano Tantalite. Presenting this gorgeous example for the specie in such size and perfection, showing vibrant red color and vitreous mirror luster. It has saturated brownish red color, high parallel striations and striking rich wet luster. It's very well crystalized all around with nice detailed white albite attached. Indeed a pretty lovely and attractive example for the species from Dara-i-peach, Kunnar, Afghanistan.
