On Stokesite, a new mineral containing tin, from Cornwall
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
While engaged last summer in arranging the Carne collection of minerals acquired for the Cambridge Mineralogical Museum in the early part of 1899, my attention was attracted by a single, colourless, transparent crystal, about 10 mm. long, implanted in a shallow cavity on a specimen of crystallised axinite from the St. Just district of Cornwall. In general appearance the crystal resembled somewhat closely one of selenite of the ordinary habit, and indeed was entered as gypsum in the catalogue of the Carne collection.
