Cassiterite with Sphalerite, Arsenopyrite, Calcite
specimen number:
8033240
location:
Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
Lustrous black twin crystal grouping of cassiterite just under 2.0 cm across on a matrix of crystallized black sphalerite with minor arsenopyrite and calcite. This is crystallized naturally all around with very slight minor cleaving to the sphalerite on the backside of the piece. I still think in very good condition.
Size: 4.3 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm (miniature)
