Description

The Viloco Mine has been one of the most prolific mines for excellent cassiterite crystals in the past. This specimen is a very nice and interesting combo of blackish to yellowish-brownish resin lustrous cassiterite crystals on dull steel grey to lustrous arsenopyrite crystals.

Please note: postage costs and procedures have changed since Jan. 1st 2019 here in GER. The given tariffs are those on the "safe" side (tracked DHL for international shipping - limit 2 kg total). I am working on a solution that may revert to the former (cheaper) tariffs - as long as i don´t have a confirmation you are welcome to stockpile items to optimize shipping costs. I will inform you about any changes ASAP.
