Rutile
Two crystals with different habit in the same specimen. Overall size: 63 mm x 46 mm x 40 mm. Weight: 183 g. There is a crack along the lower crystal as seen in the photos, but it is not a repair. This may very well be a natural re-healing of the crystal from millions of years ago. Ex Joan Massagué collection.

Group of cassiterite crystals with pale blue aquamarine beryl on muscovite. Overall size: 100 mm x 50 mm. Beryl crystal: 50 mm wide. Cassiterite main crystal: 39 mm wide.

Carles,
You are doing a real service to the mineral community with your high quality photos from several angles of very nice mineral specimens. It's always good to see as many nice specimens as possible to build a reference frame when evaluating specimens at dealers.
Thank you,
Steve
