Columbite, hard, black (often iridescent), heavy oxide mineral of iron, manganese, and niobium, (Fe, Mn)Nb 2 O 6. Tantalum atoms replace niobium atoms in the crystal structure to form the mineral tantalite, which is similar but much more dense. These minerals are the most abundant and widespread of the naturally occurring niobates and tantalates and are important ores, their elements niobiumОнлайн-запрос
Initial attempts to recover columbite concentrates by local miners and mineral speculators from the columbite rich tailing dump failed due to the ineffective processing route employed.

Columbite, also called niobite, niobite-tantalite and columbate [(Fe, Mn)Nb 2 O 6], is a black mineral group that is an ore of niobium.It has a submetallic luster and a high density and is a niobate of iron and manganese.This mineral group was first found in Haddam, Connecticut, in the United States.It forms a series with the tantalum-dominant analogue ferrotantalite and one with the manganeseОнлайн-запрос
From the type specimen, Hatchett named the new element columbium (now called niobium). The current species, columbite-(Fe) retains the old root name and has the suffix -(Fe) to indicate the dominance of iron in the species.
