Well formed, complete Tantalite crystal from old finds in Bahia. Well crystallized all around with red Rutile crystals in the surface. Slight chipping on one side as shown, otherwise all sides are smooth and flat. I acquired this out of a collection about 20 years ago, and prior to that it was in the Smithsonian Institute collection.
