Question: Cassiterite is tetragonal and orthorhombic. Now, I have found a different cassiterite with maybe monoclinic crystal symmetry. The poster by Drivenes et al. (2018) shows no Raman data....

There is, for me, a more significant problem with the spherical crystals in a granulite facies rock (prismatine rock from Waldheim). Spherical crystals in larger spherical crystals and bulk rock...
