RZ26T8: Very bright twinned crystals of Cassiterite, with neat transparency and implanted on a group of transparent Quartz crystals. We believe that this sample is not from the classic mining area of Panasqueira but from a nearby zone named “Vale da Ermida” as its appearance matches exactly the shape of the samples found there several years ago.
Vale da Ermida, Panasqueira, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Centro, Centro Region Portugal (±1964)
Specimen size: 8 × 5 × 6.2 cm = 3.15” × 1.97” × 2.44”
Main crystal size: 1.2 × 1.1 cm = 0.47” × 0.43”
With handwritten note from the Folch Collection (duplicates)
