Columbite-tantalite mineral chemistry from rare-element …
The Separation Lake area is host to the most important rare-element pegmatites in Ontario, Canada. They include the Big Whopper and Big Mack petalite pegmatite systems which potentially represent the world's second largest lithium deposit of this type. The pegmatites occur in two distinct clusters adjacent to the Separation Rapids pluton which is thought to …

Columbotantalite (cbt/coltan) | SpringerLink
The generic term columbotantalite, cbt, comprises the different compositional varieties of columbite and tantalite, classically treated (e.g. Ramdohr 1980) as an isomorphic, continuous solid solution series between the members (Fe, Mn)Nb 2 O 6 (niobite, now columbite, cb) and (Fe, Mn)Ta 2 O 6 (tantalite, tan), a series also known …

Coltan | Earth Sciences Museum
Kathy Feick. Coltan is short for columbite-tantalite, a dull metallic ore. When refined, coltan becomes a heat resistant powder, metallic tantalum, which has unique properties for storing electrical charge. Coltan occurs in granitic pegmatites, pockets where the deep seated molten rock crystallized last. Pegmatites contain many rare metals, as ...
