Open vug filled with milky Quartz crystals and 1-3mm dark brown, lustrous, and well-formed Cassiterite crystals. Very nice specimen from one of the planet's greatest tin mining regions. The Great Wheal Fortune was worked for tin from 1855 to 1890. This specimen was actually collected on the mine dumps in 1997. It's hard to obtain good Cassiterite specimens from Cornwall.

The specimen is a potpourri of rare silver and tin minerals. It was once in the collection of Werner Paar. I cannot begin to visually distinguish between these minerals as noted above. I would only be pretending, and I only do that at the bar. As such I defer to your expertise shall you happen to buy it. Have fun, it's cool looking under the scope and those little brown whirly things are interesting.
