Item Description
Striking sharp multiple terminations highlight this impressive 4.7 x 3.8 x 2.5 cm pair of intergrown translucent rich golden-yellow scheelite pyramids aesthetically set on the matrix plate of pearlescent muscovite blades. The crystals have supreme waxy luster, that really adds pizzazz. The large crystal is pristine and light bruising to the tip of the smaller crystal can be minimized by the correct display. A very fine 360-degree example of the combination species and locale. The crystals GLOW, when backlit. Bright white fluorescent. Classic Mt Xuebaoding scheelite. Quality like this is simply not coming out any more....the "flood" of scheelite is pretty much over. Valued at $900-1200.
