Description

This s a rare one: deep brown to yellowish brown cassiterite crystals (appearing brighter in direct light on the pics as they are, hard to photograph, better in nature) with high lustre accompanied by quartz crystals on metamorphic rock matrix. I was told that this spec comes from north of Brandberg when i accquired it in 2005 at Uis.

The only deposit fitting to that description is Goantagab. Brandberg-West did not yield those specimens as far as I know. Very nice example and the best one that I have in stock.
