'''Tin''' is an uncommon, low-value [[metal]] whose only ore is [[cassiterite]]. Although it is not very useful itself, it is a component in the creation of a number of valuable [[alloy]]s, such as [[fine pewter]] (used for decorations and furniture) and [[bronze]] (also useful for weapons). On its own, tin is not magma safe, or even fire safe, and will melt in a grass fire.
