Item Description
Sharp, mirror-bright, deep brown, cassiterite crystals to 1.0 cm with flashes of gemmy, yellow-orange color are aesthetically clustered and beautifully accented by a striking, 2.0 cm, water-clear, doubly terminated quartz point. The matrix is splendent, metallic-gray, laminated arsenopyrite dusted with clusters of tiny, translucent, light brown siderite rhombs. A very fine and artistic combination from the famous Panasqueira Mine.
