Item Description

Charlie prized the attractive and rare Cassiterites from this region. This Cassiterite is sharp and lustrous (more so than the pics, even). This Cassiterite is complexly twinned, and mesmerizing to the eye. The specimen is not totally complete in all directions, but the crystallization and twinning is very good and attractive. A quality, hard to find thumbnail of this species which is seldom seen in Namibia.
