There is some conjecture that stannum was derived from the Cornish stean, since the West Country region of Great Britain was an early source of tin ore.

Which grey mineral with metallic lustre is used as a source of tin?
From Wikipedia: " Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide....Tin's chemical properties fall between those of metals and non-metals, just as the semiconductors silicon and germanium do. Tin has two allotropes at normal pressure and temperature: gray tin and white tin. A third allotrope, called brittle tin, exists at temperatures above 161 °C. Below 13.2 °C, it exists as gray or alpha tin, which has a cubic crystal structure similar to silicon and germanium. Gray tin has no metallic properties at all, is a dull-gray powdery material, and has few uses, other than a few specialized semiconductor applications." although cassiterite ( an oxide) is the most common source of tin, occaisionally tin is sourced from sulfides such as stannite, a grey mineral with a metallic lustre.
