This historic Bolivian tin mine has produced some of the word’s finest cassiterite crystals, noted for their gemmy quality and size. This particular specimen features approximately a dozen large and slightly gemmy crystals. An older specimen, with two historic labels – one from Lawrence Conklin and one from Richard Willis. Some damage as seen in video, but still an impressive specimen for the age and size.
