Item Description

This locality has produced some of the most distinctive and signature specimens from China. The best of the Scheelites are incredible and world class for what they are. This particular piece features distinctive, sharp, lustrous, translucent, rich golden orange color, stacked, pseudo-octahedral crystals of Scheelite. Additionally there are some compressed, bladed, silvery Muscovite crystals and small white Microcline on the specimen for an added touch. The quality is very good and the base of the piece is actually crystallized as well! The piece can be displayed from several angles as you can see from the photos. A great quality specimen from this unique locality. From the collection of Richard A. Kosnar, and mined about 12 years ago.
