Saxony, Germany
ex. Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences Collection
50mm x 42mm x 34mm
A fascinating old specimen of Cassiterite crystals included within a sharply formed prismatic Quartz crystal. Two Cassiterite crystals can be seen measuring to approx 10mm and 5mm width. The Quartz crystal is very gemmy and transparent becoming cloudy only in the bottom 1cm (difficult to portray in the photos). Minor chipping to the terminations as can be expected from specimens of this age, old label glued to the specimen. Ex. Franklin Institute.$300
