Lustrous black cassiterite crystals rise from pale mica on this Xuebaoding specimen from Sichuan.
Sharp, highly reflective black cassiterite crystals form the dominant upright mass, edged by pale silvery mica and lighter matrix material. The only photograph is excluded because its base label is not clean enough for release. Four exact video stills provide complete front, side, reverse and opposite-side views without visible text. Identified as cassiterite and mica from Xuebaoding, Pingwu, Sichuan. The photographed acrylic support, mounting material and hand are presentation elements.
