Item Description

"Wood tin" cassiterite from this uncommon Mexican locale is very seldom on the market. Wood tin is an old-time English term for cassiterite in this form and color. This is a classic and fine nodule of reddish-brown, botryoidal, wood tin cassiterite Complete all-around and pristine, the contacting on the back and lower front has no damage, per se. Superb material for this locality, form and variety. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. Valued at $500.
