Item Description
This mesmerizing Cassiterite is sharp and lustrous (more so than the pics, even), and is complexly twinned. It would be good from ANY LOCALITY! But from Erongo, they are extremely uncommon. The crystallization and twinning are very good and attractive, and you are looking directly into the twinning plane in the main shot. A quality, hard to find thumbnail. ex Charlie Key thumbnail collection... Charlie prized the attractive and rare Cassiterites from this region.
