Thank you Chris, but in fact, it seems that if it is not the last message it is impossible for me.

It seems that Carles did the change.

Just ask an administrator, such as Carles, and we can make changes to old posts.

Right, but only when the last post is yours (unless you are a moderator or administrator). As soon as another message is added, the Edit button is not there anymore.

Thank you Fiebre Verde.

Something different; a combo specimen of cassiterite, quartz, arsenopyrite, and a mica.

The supposed locality is Liyang, Hunan. On Mindat Liyang County is in JIANGSU province and not HUNAN. I do not see any cassiterite in the Liyang County occurences, so it is a mystery for me.

These Casiterites are from the Amo deposit, I already added this locality to your images.

In case of doubts better submit it first in the What is it? - Where is it from? section.

Thank you!

I like the contrast with the white rhombs in the Sweetwater galena. Seems to be dolomite?

Thank you Gerard. It is a very humble specimen in fact.

When I bought it, the vendor mentioned calcite, but it may be dolomite.
Association of calcite and galena is common in Viburnum Trend as far I know.
Maybe a US specialist could confirm it.

I see that someone changed my comment to dolomite. But who ?
It would be kind to ask to me if I agree.

I did it (...."fixed") the same as I added the right locality to your Chinese Cassiterite. It is obviously Dolomite, classic in this deposit.
