A fantastic example of cassiterite from the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. These cassiterites, discovered in 2022, set the new standard for the species in Erongo, and created a big wave in the mineral community. Lustrous and complex sharp crystals atop a bed of ilmenite (also rare for the region) make for a fascinating and aesthetic combo. This specimen also features a sharp schorl crystal. This find produced a limited number of specimens, with none seen since – making this a rare opportunity to own a future Erongo classic. Photo by Invenio Fine Minerals
