Tin Candle - Tin Smelt from Cornish Crystals & Minerals

Tin Candle - Tin Smelt

A fascinating piece of Cornish history, this is a 'Tin Candle' collected from the Bissoe Tin Smelting Works. Formed as a stalagmite in the process of turning Cassiterite into a useful commodity.

Tin

Native tin in its natural state, as opposed to the tin-oxide mineral Cassiterite, forms whitish-grey grains.  It's often found here in Cornwall as alluvial pieces - lumps of tin that have been smoothed by years of rolling along stream beds.

Key Healing Properties:  Tin has a bright energy, lifting confusion, revitalising mental agility and clearing despondency.  It's used when perspective has turned sour or foggy on a situation or relationship.

Also see Cassiterite.
