Description

An exceptional specimen of large, lustrous, and translucent cassiterite crystals nestled in a bed of ankerite and a quartz matrix. It features two cyclic twin which are perfectly centered. There are other lesser crystals relatively isolated and stand out nicely from the matrix. Specimens from this location were mined in the mid-1950's.
