Coltan AKA Coltan Fantastic AKA Columbite/Tantalite

---

Highly valued metallic ore used by many modern industrialized cultures in idolatrous practices. Coltan's unique properties make it an ideal component for use in Virtual Portal Devices (VPD). The mining of coltan, silicon, and related metals has led to "resource curses" in a number of central African nations (including the territory formerly known as Northern Rhodesia), which many residents see as spiritual retribution for VPD's common functionality as modern day personalized handheld synthetic pseudo-deities.
