The titano-niobate mineral pyrochlore, which contains up to 66% Nb, is one of the most important sources of niobium and tantalum. Another important source of niobium and tantalum is the niobate-tantalate mineral columbite-tantalite (coltan), which normally contains mixtures of columbite and tantalite with up to 60% Nb content.

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.

changes in mineral processing have enabled old dumped tailings of columbite to become profitable to process again. Columbite contains oxide of niobium (Nb2O5) and oxide of tantalum (Ta2O5) in different proportions. When the niobium oxide is much more than the tantalum oxide, the mineral is called columbite {(Fe,Mn)Nb2O6}, while it is called tanta-
