cassiteritetyyppiset
Cassiteritetyyppiset, a Finnish term, translates to "cassiterite-type" in English and refers to a specific crystal structure classification. Cassiterite itself is a mineral composed of tin dioxide (SnO2) and is the primary ore of tin. Minerals that exhibit the cassiterite-type structure share similar arrangements of atoms in their crystalline lattice.
The cassiterite crystal structure is tetragonal and belongs to the space group I41/amd. In this structure, tin
Many minerals can crystallize with the cassiterite-type structure, even if they are not chemically related to
