Product Description

columbite Tantalite is a dull metallic ore founded in major quantities in the eastern areas of Congo. When refined, coltan becomes metalic tantalum, a heat-resistant powder that can hold a high electrical charge.  These properties make a vital element in creating capacitors, the electronic elements that control current flow inside miniature circuit boards. Tantalum capacitors are used is almost all cell phones, laptops , pagers and many more electronics.
