This striking mineral specimen features a double-terminated tantalite crystal delicately perched on a matrix of feldspar, accented with slender tourmaline crystals, all sourced from the renowned mineral-rich regions of Afghanistan. The tantalite, known for its deep, lustrous black to reddish-brown coloration, displays excellent terminations at both ends, showcasing the crystal's natural geometric symmetry. Nestled against a backdrop of creamy white feldspar, the contrast highlights the tantalite’s robust form and rich hue. Slender green and black tourmaline crystals add a dynamic visual element, enhancing the specimen’s aesthetic appeal. This captivating combination not only reflects the geological diversity of Afghan pegmatites but also makes it a prized addition for collectors of rare and well-formed mineral specimens.
