Columbite-tantalite-bearing granitoids of the Eastern Desert province of Egypt can be categorized into: (i) metaluminous alkali granites; (ii) peraluminous Li-albite granites; and (iii) metasomatized biotite and/or muscovite granite (i.e. apogranites). Columbite of the alkali granite is of FeNb 2 O 6 composition and associated with annite. The ...

Columbite-(Fe) is not truly a rare mineral, but it's almost impossible to find specimens from the Foote Mine on the market. This piece hosts jet-black lustrous crystals of Columbite-(Fe) measuring up to 2.0 cm with minor matrix, but please note that the crystals are clearly broken on the edges, so the piece is not damage free. ...
Production by Lohja Minerals and later by Partek Industrial Minerals Oy from the Haapaluoma pegmatite in Seinäjoki, from 1962–1997, was ∼650,000 tons of feldspar + quartz ore (Puustinen, 2003). The Haapaluoma feldspar ore was famous for its high K 2 O (∼8 wt%) and low Fe 2 O 3 (∼0.04 wt%) content.
Yttrocolumbite is the yttrium-rich columbite with the formula (Y,U,Fe)(Nb,Ta)O 4. It is a radioactive mineral found in Mozambique.
