    Description: "A fresh, cm-sized crystal, dark grey with a greasy luster and D = 8.809 g/cm3, was examined. In reflected light, it is grey with very weak bireflectance; two phases can be distinguished. Electron-microprobe analysis gives the host bismutotantalite [Bi] as (Bi0.98Sb0.02)(Ta0.89Nb0.11)O4; the subsidiary phase [Bi,Sb], (Bi0.68Sb0.32)(Ta0.89Nb0.11)O4"
