Stibiotantalite is a very uncommon species in this pegmatite, and these orange-red gem crystals are always highly treasured among collectors there. This is a fine thumbnail, about as good as it gets for sharpness, condition, color, and obvious gemmy transparency. I do not think there is better quality of this species from any US locality and, in this size and beauty, I cannot think of transparent crystals from any other locale either.
