Abstract
This paper shows an unusual occurrence of orthorhombic cassiterite in a classic Variscan tin mineralization of the Erzgebirge, where the cassiterite typically crystallizes in the tetragonal system. The characteristic Raman spectra of orthorhombic cassiterite are shown for the first time. Furthermore, the origin of this cassiterite as a result of the interaction of a tin deposit with supercritical melts or fluids is discussed.
Keywords:Tetragonal and orthorhombic cassiterite; Raman spectroscopy; Supercritical melts/fluids; OH-rich topaz
