About the Item

This exceptional specimen from the renowned Pingwu Mine in Sichuan Province, China, features a dramatic combination of jet-black Cassiterite crystals with brilliant luster and sharp terminations, beautifully contrasted by shimmering blades of silvery Muscovite. Cassiterite, the primary ore of tin, is known for its high density and reflective surfaces, and this piece exemplifies those characteristics with mirror-like intensity. The Muscovite adds a delicate texture and highlights the geometric contrast of the Cassiterite crystals, creating a display piece of outstanding mineralogical and aesthetic interest. Highly sought after by collectors, this Cassiterite With Muscovite offers both visual drama and historical significance from one of the world’s most prolific tin-producing localities. A show-quality addition to any collection. Weight: 231 g
