EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable twinned crystal of cassiterite, extracted from the renowned Wheal Maudlin mine in Cornwall, England. With its deep black and rich brown hues, this specimen exemplifies the allure of this mineral. Cassiterite is predominantly found in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites that are closely associated with granite intrusions throughout Cornwall. As the primary ore of tin, it holds immense significance as one of the most extensively mined metals in this region's history. Measuring 20mm x 25mm x 30mm, this particular specimen beautifully encapsulates the unique characteristics and intricate structure of cassiterite crystals. The phenomenon of twinning is particularly evident here, where two individual crystals have grown together to form a single entity. Andy Tindle's expert photography skillfully captures every detail and nuance present within this stunning piece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the geological beauty but also gain insight into Cornwall's rich mining heritage. This print serves as a testament to both nature's artistic prowess and human ingenuity in uncovering valuable resources from beneath our feet. It stands as a reminder of how minerals like cassiterite have shaped local economies while leaving an indelible mark on Cornish culture for generations to come.
