Cassiterite

Item Description

This famous tin mine has produced world-class cassiterite specimens and this is a very fine and aesthetic miniature. The impressive 1.9 cm twin dominates the mounded cluster of splendent, sharp dark chocolate-brown crystals. All of the glassy crystals have gemmy/translucent areas under bright light. An excellent 360-degree cutie with only trivial periphery wear. Classic Viloco cassiterite from an East Coast collection.
