| Comments: | Two crystals of stibiotantalite were observed in the Katerina mine, where they were in close association with coarse-grained cleavelandite, quartz, orthoclase, and colorless to pinkish beryl. The crystals were near several clusters of manganotantalite tablets, which they resembled in color and luster. In contrast, however, the antimony mineral showed a perfect cleavage. |
