Cassiterite with Apatite

This specimen features rare, metallic-black cassiterite crystals nestled on a bed of lustrous, white albite, accompanied by vibrant green apatite crystals, creating a striking mineralogical contrast. The cassiterite, sourced from the mountains of Pakistan, showcases well-formed, prismatic crystals with sharp, reflective faces that glint under light, exhibiting its characteristic adamantine luster. These cassiterite crystals are arranged naturally across the albite matrix, whose pearly sheen and soft color provide an ideal backdrop that accentuates the depth and detail of the cassiterite. Interspersed among them, apatite crystals add an additional layer of visual appeal with their translucent, hexagonal shapes and a delicate green hue that complements the monochrome palette.
