Cassiterite with Sphalerite

8033239
location:
Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
Very fine example for the species from this famous locality with a complex grouping of lustrous black cassiterite crystals 2.8 cm across on top of a spherical shaped lustrous black sphalerite crystal grouping. The sphalerite is cleaved on the base, there is very slight micro-chipping up on the cassiterite as seen in the photo and video. I think this in very good condition. Displays beautifully.
