Cassiterite and Tourmaline from Bodelva Pit, Cornwall

Cassiterite and Tourmaline from Bodelva Pit, Bodelva, St Blaise, Cornwall, UK

Specimen pieces of Cassiterite on a Tourmaline rich matrix from Bodelva pit.

It can be quite difficult to get much out of these specimens without good magnification - the crystals are all really rather small. The Tourmaline is much easier to spot than the cassiterite!
