Description:Bolivia has probably produced more tin than any other country in the world. The great tin mines at Viloco (sometimes called Araca) have produced some of the most magnificent Cassiterite specimens extant. This particular specimen hosts dozens of sharp, lustrous, cyclic twinned crystal groups of Cassiterite with Quartz. The color ranges from black to a deep root beer color to a slight golden color. The piece is in great shape overall, especially on the display side. These classic specimens from Viloco are simply not seen for sale in today's market, and to find crystal group with Quartz like this is not at all common !
