TR26I1: Stannite on Quartz and Ferberite
The sample is magnificent both for its size and the quality and definition of the groups of Stannite crystals on Quartz with Ferberite. The specimen had been analyzed to confirm it is really Stannite and not Sphalerite, because on Chinese samples such confusion is possible.
The specimen has been published in the book 'China', by Berthold Ottens, on page 526

NF11X9: Stannite with Chalcopyrite and Arsenopyrite
Stannite and Chalcopyrite intergrowths. The Stannite is slightly golden dark gray and the Chalcopyrite shows a brass color. The complexity of these growths, the poor definition of crystalline forms and the fact that Stannite also frequently substitutes for Sphalerite, resulted in Stannite having been almost unnoticed at Panasqueira. We’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.

NQ60F4: Stannite with Sphalerite and Arsenopyrite
A curious and unusual form. The crystals of Sphalerite have such curved edges and faces that they appear to be almost spherical. The Stannite is a fine coating, which makes the Sphalerite appear satin. At the base there are some prismatic, well-developed crystals of Arsenopyrite that make this one seem aerial and esthetic.

The piece has a slight fissure but the matrix is stable. The Stannite, which in this locality is easily confused with Sphalerite, has been properly analyzed and we’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. A mine that has produced excellent world-class examples of Fluorite and interesting sulphides.

10EE58: Staurolite
Staurolite crystals showing the typical cross-shaped twin with well defined faces and edges, doubly terminated, with a deep brown color highlighting the contrast with the whitish mica-schist matrix.
