Cassiterite's colour
Cassiterite is never purple. This is an evident error. It may however be brown. Eudialytos (talk) 22:25, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Tinn
Does anybody have info on the etymological links between tin and the Norwegian town of Tinn, which has a significant decorative pewter industry? Neither article mentions anything, and I can't find any info by googling. --Ef80 (talk) 10:42, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Clarity needed in "Isotopes" section
The second paragraph of the Isotopes section talks about 100Sn having a doubly magic nucleus, then in the next phrase it says that it has a "very uneven neutron-proton ratio" which is obviously incorrect; since tin is element 50 it would have 50 protons in its nucleus, and an isotope at 100 amu would thus also have 50 neutrons, making the ratio 1:1 (which is about as even as you can get). The other isotope referenced, 132Sn, would certainly have an uneven ratio, and the following portion of the sentence states that 100 and 132 are the endpoints above/below which isotopes are much more unstable, but I'm not sure how to reword this to keep the relevant information and get rid of the contradictory information.
