Item Description
A huge and rare cassiterite crystal from Nigeria. This lustrous monster has two, sharp, strikingly furrowed and pitted faces with a very nifty magenta tinting. Undoubtably older material from the 1970s or older. Ex University of Arizona Collection. The numbers match. Hefty tin ore at 671 grams or 1.5 pounds.
