Cassiterite twin w/ Stilbite (New Find!)

Item Description

A striking and impressive, two-sided specimen from a New Find at a more obscure area of China. The highly lustrous, super-sharp, sculptural, very dark brown to black, cassiterite twin has a real surprise on the back! Pearlescent stilbite blades are strikingly embedded on the contacted back. Here the cassiterite shows flashes of orange-brown gemminess. Such an unusual association on such an extremely aesthetic combination specimen! The stilbites are all pristine, as is the top of the cassiterite. VERY NIFTY new material.
