caption_attribution_description: English: Cassiterite Locality: Amo Sn deposit, Ximeng County, Pu'er Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China (Locality at mindat.org) Size: thumbnail, 2 x 2 x 0.7 cm GEM Cassiterite&#160; a killer thumbnail If you are a thumbnail collector or collector of Chinese minerals, you will not find a better example of a Chinese gem cassiterite crystal than this one. In fact, it was the top piece of an entire lot we purchased last year. These are of course not to be confused with the far more common opaque black cassiterites from Pingwu. Here you have a deep coffee/smoky-colored crystal that was trimmed out on just the merest bit of matrix, somehow with no damage to the crystal, which is complete and displayable from all sides. It is a true "jewel" for a discriminating collector. SO MUCH BETTER, even, in person! This has to be one of the best cassiterite thumbs out there. Certtainly that I have seen.

context_page_description: This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letter C. The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names, however minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date. This list contains a mixture of mineral names that have been approved since 1959 and those mineral names believed to still refer to valid mineral species.
  The list is divided into groups:
  Introduction •
  A • B • C • D • E • F • G • H • I • J • K • L • M • N • O • P–Q • R • S • T • U–V • W–X • Y–Z
  The data was exported from mindat.org on 29 April 2005; updated up to 'IMA2019'.
  The minerals are sorted by name, followed by the structural group or chemical class, the year of publication, the IMA approval and the Nickel–Strunz code. The first link is to mindat.org, the second link is to webmineral.com, and the third is to the Handbook of Mineralogy.
  Abbreviations:
  ᴰ – discredited.
  Q – questionable/ doubtful.
