Item Description

Each cluster on this fascinating Pakistani rarity is about 3 cm tip to tip, perched atop a plate of contrasting quartz matrix for dramatic display. The back of the scheelite clusters is contacted, but the display face is pristine and as good as those above - with bigger clusters of conjoined crystals! The reason this is lower in value by so much is thus not because of the rear contact, but because (and it's hard to see unless you go looking), there is a cleave on the tip of the frontal crystal in the left cluster. Still, a lot of color appeal, and a special find from this unusual locality.
