Tantalite-(Mn) "Manganotantalite" with Lepidolite, Albite var. Cleavelandite & Tourmaline Dara-i-Pech pegmatite field, Chapa Dara District, Konar Province (Nuristan), Afghanistan 6.63cm x 4.58cm x 3.85cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of manganotantalite from Afghanistan!!! This specimen hosts a large, complex group of manganotantalite crystals in a matrix of lepidolite and albite var. cleavlandite with some blue green tourmaline in association as well!!! The manganotantalite crystal is highly lustrous and has intense deep red color in person!!! The fiery red color is simply electric in person - the pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!! There are some small areas of siginificant gemminess as well!!! There is a partial crystal of blue green tourmaline present as well and there are some significant lepidolite crystals present too!!! This specimen is way better than the pictures show!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
