Cassiterite Var. Needle Tin (Ref: 1885)
Dolcoath Mine | Camborne | Cornwall | England
70mm x 49mm x 29mm
This great and old time specimen hosts a bunch of vugs with numerous acicular Cassiterite crystals as so called ´Needle-Tin´ or ´Sparable-Tin´. Sparable-Tin was the miner’s term for acicular habits of Cassiterite, named for their similarity to a ´sparrow’s bill´ or the name for hand-made nails used in the mines. The single crystals here are sharp edged and highly lustrous. A superb and rich specimen in splendid condition with great aesthetics for that what it is and for sure one of the finest ´Needle-Tins´ we ever handledFrom: Wendel Minerals
