Scheelite (fluorescent) & Muscovite

Item Description

An impressive, stout, 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm, tetragonal scheelite crystal is jauntily attached to a sculptural cluster of starkly contrasting pearlescent muscovite books on this dramatic and aeshetic combintion from this famous Chinese locale. The sharp, very glassy, gemmy to translucent scheelite crystal has rich burnt orange color that GLOWS, when backlit. A frontal face is contacted, with no damage, per se and periphery wear is noted to the scheelite, but this remains a striking and highly representative example of the combination species and locale. Ghostly white scheelite fluorescence. The piece has two fine display views. Quality like this is simply not coming out any more....the "flood" of world class scheelite is pretty much over. valued $900-1200
