Cassiterite with Muscovite
specimen number:
9132001
location:
Huya, Mt Xuebaoding, Sichuan, China
description: Superb large cabinet specimen with incredibly bright lustrous twinned black crystals of cassiterite measuring to 2.7 cm in size thick across the top of this muscovite crystal matrix. Very slight and minimal sparse micro-chipping present, this visible in the photo and video, I think overall considering the size of this piece in the number of crystals present the specimen is in great condition.
Size: 19.5 x 12.0 x 7.5 cm (large-cabinet)
