Cassiterite

Cassiterite is a member of the Rutile group, and has the same structure as Rutile but a different chemical composition. It is the most important ore of the metal Tin, and very rarely forms in gem quality - but when it does it makes for an incredibly fiery gemstone with a high dispersion.

Cassiterite is associated with grounding and protective qualities, fostering a connection to Earth's energy for stability and security. It is believed to aid with manifestation, enhancing intentions for abundance and prosperity, while boosting physical vitality and stamina. It can aid emotional balance, releasing negativity and reducing stress. Cassiterite is thought to amplify insight and intuition, offering deeper understanding of thoughts and emotions. It supports harmonious relationships and transformation, resolving conflicts and aligning chakras, particularly the root and sacral, for stability and creative expression.
