Description: Cassiterite is the primary ore of Tin (Sn). The name Cassiterite is derived from the Greek ‘kassiteros’, meaning Tin. This specimen represents a twinned and lustrous black crystals of Cassiterite. Twinning is common in cassiterite and most aggregate specimens show crystal twins. The typical twin is bent at a near-60-degree angle, forming an ‘elbow twin’. Multiple twinning can continue to bend the crystal around and possibly form a cyclic twin.
