Cassiterite with Siderite
specimen number:
2451391
location:
Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description: Outstanding large cabinet display example for the species from this famous locality with lustrous brownish black crystals of cassiterite to 1.0 cm in size, these forming groupings as large as 3.0 cm across, scattered nicely throughout a 15.5 x 12.5 x 3.5 cm matrix. The matrix consists mainly of lenticular Brown siderite crystals. Some pyrite present as well. Very minimal micro-chipping present, I think in very good condition for what this is.
