Item Description

Scheelite octahedrons of this larger size are uncommon from this famous Italian locale. The sharply terminated, partially translucent crystal had lustrous, citrine-yellow color. The termination is pristine. There is contact roughness lower on the crystal and one the back, but this remains a highly representative, larger scheelite from this classic locale. Ex Sal Avella Collection. Bright white fluorescence.
