Item Description

Juicy, lustrous, translucent to gemmy, amber-orange, intergrown, tetragonal scheelite crystals form a most impressive large specimen from this famed locale, source of the world's finest scheelites. The two gem terminations, form and high luster really accentuate this striking piece. The piece GLOWS, when backlit! The presentation faces are pristine. The piece displays beautifully without aid from mulitiple angles, with the contact on one side being out-of-sight. Hefty tungsten ore at 854 grams or 1.9 pounds mass. Bright ghostly white fluoresence. Valued at $2000.
