Uncommon old specimen featuring a 3.2cm twinned Cassiterite crystal and black Schorl attached to a Manganotantalite crystal. The Cassiterite is complete all around and the Schorl has typical flat termination faces on one end and a more fibrous termination on the other end. A fine and rarely seen combo piece for this locality.
