General Notes
According to Gebhard (1999) cassiterite was found as "… a single specimen of brilliant red [!] microcrystals". There is, however, no record of cassiterite from Tsumeb in the peer-reviewed literature and its occurrence at Tsumeb is considered questionable pending suitable verification.
