XRD Study on Cassiterite from Bastar District, M.P.

Vikram J. S. Lamba

Abstract

Cassiterite occurs as discrete crystals, disseminations and occasionally as small veinlets mainly in the quartz core, in the tin-bearing rare-metal pegmatites of Bastar disttrict, M.P. XRD study on it reveals that columbite-tantalite occurs possibly in solid solution with it resulting in decrease of its axial lengths of a o and b o by 1.0%, compared to standard (synthetic) cassiterite.
