Description

This striking mineral specimen features a double-terminated tantalite crystal delicately perched on a matrix of feldspar, accented with slender tourmaline crystals, all sourced from the renowned mineral-rich regions of Afghanistan. The tantalite, known for its deep, lustrous black to reddish-brown coloration, displays excellent terminations at both ends, showcasing the crystal's natural geometric symmetry. Nestled against a backdrop of creamy white feldspar, the contrast highlights the tantalite’s robust form and rich hue. Slender green and black tourmaline crystals add a dynamic visual element, enhancing the specimen’s aesthetic appeal. This captivating combination not only reflects the geological diversity of Afghan pegmatites but also makes it a prized addition for collectors of rare and well-formed mineral specimens.

Tantalite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
