Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of cassiterite from the Czech Republic!!! This specimen hosts several crystals of lustrous,
dark brown cassiterite on matrix!!! The cassiterite crystals have areas of slight clarity and exhibit characteristic
twinning as well!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that there are numerous tiny crystals of translucent whitish apatite
perched on the surfaces of the cassiterite crystals!!! This specimen is from the University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum and
retains an old Boubee label as well!!! Old material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 12th!!!
