An exquisite cyclic-twinned Cassiterite crystal on matrix from the classic European (and world) locality of Horní Slavkov (Schlaggenwald) in Bohemia, Czech Republic. The Cassiterite crystal is approximately 2 cm wide and has the most intense bright lustre. The crystal is extremely well-formed, and displays extremely well on this miniature specimen. There is the very slightest of contacts on one corner and a tiny amount of abrasion on one crystal edge, but otherwise is perfect. Two smaller damaged crystals are present on the edges of the matrix.
