Cassiterite from Wheal Pendarves, Cornwall

Cassiterite from Harriet Lode, Wheal Pendarves, Killivose, Camborne, Cornwall, England, UK

Cassiterite in a Tourmaline and Quartz matrix from the Harriet Lode of Wheal Pendarves.

Wheal Pendarves was closed in the 1980s, and has since been completely cleared - no further specimens will be coming.

Some of the Quartz could perhaps be considered Tourmalinated Quartz, and this is how a previous owner has labelled it - I will stick to describing it as Cassiterite in a Tourmaline and Quartz matrix.
