Item Description
A dramatic and aesthetic large cluster from this well-known Chinese locality. Translucent to gemmy, rich butterscotch-colored, tetragonal scheelite crystals are lined up like the Great Pyramids. Both large scheelites have twinned terminations. Complete all-around. The tip of the large crystal is gently bruised, one tip of the secondary crystal is dinged and basal periphery wear is noted on the display view. Notwithstanding, this remains an impresssive large, 360-degree cluster of the species and noted locale. Ghostly white fluorescence. Valued at $1250-1500.
