Item Description
Dolomite is EXTREMELY RARE from the renowned Pingwu beryl mine, renowned for world-class scheelite, cassiterite, aquamarine and kesterite specimens. There are NO dolomite photos shown among the 478 photos listed in the mindat Photo Gallery. This exceptional, aesthetic, perhaps unique, small cabinet combination is dramatically highlighted by the beautifully placed, pristine, 3.7 cm, gemmy/translucent, lustrous, light yellow to golden-yellow, doubly terminated compound pseudo-hexagonal tetragonal scheelite crystal surrounded by the stunning, sharp, classic, translucent dolomite rhombs, to 1.8 cm on the diagonal, on the sculptural pearlescent muscovite plate matrix. The scheelite has a beautiful glow, when backlit. Ghostly white scheelite fluorescence. Exceptional and RARE combination material from Pingwu. Ex Cliff Bourland Collection of Dallas. Valued at $1750-2000 for rarity and quality.
