Rich specimen loaded with elongated pointed crystals termed "sparable tin", a crystal habit apparently unique to Cornish cassiterite. The term is derived from "sparable" nails used by cobblers in the soles and heels of shoes for traction.
This is a cabinet size specimen with the cassiterite crystals reaching 3mm in the many vugs of massive Cassiterite with dark gree Clinochlore(?) rosettes and Quartz crystals. The unusual association is the pink Erythrite.
