Cassiterite, a mineral composed of tin oxide (SnO2), typically appears opaque, although it can be translucent in thinner crystal forms. Its appealing luster and various crystal faces make it a sought-after gem. Historically, cassiterite served as the primary source of tin and continues to be a vital source of this metal in modern times.
