Cassiterite, Tumbled

Cassiterite which is also known as tinstone is a heavy, metallic hard tin dioxide(SnO2) that is the major ore of tin. Cassiterite is colorless when it is pure but turns to brown or black when the iron impurities are present. It is generally opaque but is also translucent in thin crystals.

Cassiterite is a durable gemstone with tremendous dispersive fire, especially visible in properly cut pale-colored stones. As the principal ore of tin, it's also a common mineral.

Cassiterite is a wonderful stone for journeying and an ideal stone for shamans, mediums, and channelers, as its vibration enables the us to move inter-dimensionally. It is stone that can shift the consciousness of the individual and of mankind. This stone is one of birth and death, manifestation and destruction.

Each tumbled gem measures approximately 18 - 20 mm. Sold in singles.
