Columbite is generally described as a low-grade complex oxide ore of majorly metal oxide compounds like niobium penta-oxide (Nb 2 O 5) of ~ 55–78% …
Columbite has the same composition and crystal symmetry (orthorombic) as tantalite. In fact, the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral series called columbite-tantalite or coltan in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much greater specific gravity than columbite, more than 8.0 compared to columbite's 5.2.
Columbite is a black, crystalline mineral group, and the main ore of niobium which is also called columbate, niobite, and niobite-tantalite [ (Fe, Mn)Nb2O6], it is also a niobate of iron and manganese. It is found in granite, pegmatites, and placer deposits together with tantalite, but has less density. Columbite has the same mineral structure ...
