USGS Mineral Resources Program coloring page for cassiterite and the critical mineral tin.
The mineral cassiterite, chemical formula SnO2, is the most important mineral source for the critical mineral tin. Fun facts: tin is one of the earliest metals used by humans! The chemical symbol for tin, Sn, comes from its Latin name, stannum.
