Scheelite (uncommon locale) fluorescent

Item Description

Scheelite is not that common from Pakistan and this is an excellent piece from the small 2006 find. Intergrown octahedrons (pristine) with very high luster, translucence (especially the large crystal) and rich honey-amber color comprise this striking piece. The bit of lower periphery wear is certainly not a detraction. Scheelite finds are very rare - the vast majority on the market come from China, and to a lesser extent, Vietnam. So this find is quite significant. The piece GLOWS blood-orange, when backlit (especially the large crystal). Bright white fluorescence, as you would expect.
