A very rich cluster of well-formed cassiterite crystals, showing twinning and bipyramidal forms. The color ranges from deep honey to lighter shades in some crystals when light strikes them. It comes from a locality in Cáceres that is poorly represented in collections. The deposit is composed of three sub-circular granitic cupolas that host Sn–Nb–Ta–W mineralization. There have been recent initiatives and applications for mining exploration permits (for example, the “Torrecilla”), covering several grid squares in the municipalities of Torrecilla de los Ángeles, Hernán Pérez, and Santibáñez El Alto, indicating interest in exploring the mineral resources. From the Vilaseca collection (Barcelona) and and old label from Joan Montal, a former Catalan dealer.
