Item Description

This aesthetic intergrown cluster of three, gemmy to translucent, very glassy, burnt-orange, tetragonal scheelite crystals is dramatically accented by the starkly contrasting cluster of glassy quartz crystals and crystal sections from famous Mt. Xuebaoding. The impressive large pyramidal crystal in the center is 4.0 cm tall and the nifty doubly terminated and pristine water-clear quartz crystal is 2.7 cm. The periphery wear noted at the top of the large crystal and on the sides of the piece have minimal impact to the high quality of this excellent and very showy combination. The scheelites GLOW, when backlit. White fluorescence. Valued at $2000. Quality like this is simply not coming out any more....the "flood" of world class scheelite is pretty much over.
