About the Item
From Nuristan, Laghman Province, Afghanistan
This excellent, Manganotantalite is rare find. Most of the crystal appears to be black, but the "glow" shot reveals translucent, red spots on the lustrous face. It is actually brighter and far more intense in person. This is an excellent example of this uncommon pegmatite species from this locality.
