Cassiterite with Smoky Quartz on Topaz

Three lustrous and partly gemmy cassiterite crystals with lots of faces and a matching brown and clear smoky quartz on light blue Topaz. Quite a combination I must say. From the North-East of Russia. Not the first locality that comes to mind when thinking about Russian topaz.
