Sample of crystallized cassiterite with a few isolated shiny black faces.
The Montebras mine is located in the Creuse region of France and has long been mined for tin. It is still quarried today to produce feldspar for ceramics. It remains a benchmark for the number of mineralogical species it supplies (turquoise, apatite, montebrasite). Sample collected in the 1950s.
