Cassiterite from Trevarthian Downs Mine, Cornwall

Cassiterite from Trevarthian Downs Mine (Trevarthen Mine), St Hilary, Cornwall, England, UK

A palm sized specimen of cassiterite on matrix from Trevarthian Downs Mine.

Several very minimal areas of crystallisation in this piece, in a quartz matrix.

Not the prettiest specimen, unfortunately! Comes with the original collectors label.
