A superb, old-time, doubly terminated, twinned cassiterite crystal from the ancient mines at Schlaggenwald, Bohemia. This very large and sharp, lustrous, dark gray crystal has textbook crystal form and is very nicely accented by a single quartz point. Seldom available in this size and quality from this historic locale and comes with an old handwritten label in English. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
