Cassiterite
Unknown Owner
An attractive twin cassiterite with good luster. The Viloco Mine is perhaps the worlds finest locality for this species. This piece becomes translucent with light, and I notice some odd sectoral zoning with the edges being more darkly saturated than the crystal faces. The specimen is in very good condition with a few corner rubs. Ex Kay Robertson Collection
