Scilly Isles

Since cassiterite is the only important ore of tin, it must have been the earliest source of the metal. Although the Cassiterides, or tin islands, vaguely mentioned by classical writers were usually supposed to have been named for the ore, cassiterite may possibly have been named for the islands, just as copper may have been named for Cyprus and bronze for Brundisium (Brindisi, Italy) (62). Some scholars identify the Cassiterides with the Scilly Isles. In speaking of mirrors, Pliny the Elder stated that the best known to our forefathers were made at Brundisium from a mixture of copper and stagnum (63).

Smaller frontal zones can be produced in the wake of islands, resulting in upwelling and elevated productivity (e.g. Flawaii and Isles of Scilly).
