Item Description
Ping Wu was an essential source of tungsten in the older days of Chinese ore mining, and really had a strong run for decades as a mineral producing locality as well. The great quake of 2008 ended that run, and the mine never recovered its old production for a variety of reasons (including to protect the adjacent panda preserve!). This is a classic, older era scheelite from the famous location, considered world's best scheelite locality, and with a strong and dominant 5 cm-across crystal perched smartly in a nest of mica (muscovite) matrix. Strongly Fluorescent in SW!
