Item Description

This adorable combination miniature of scheelite and quartz points is dominated by a rare and weird looking scheelite crystal. The large, sharp, lustrous and translucent, burnt-orange, tetragonal, pyramidal crystal is TABULAR, and not the generally seen cubic form. The smaller scheelites and sharp glassy quartz points make for an elegant, very aesthetic and rare two-sided miniature. Ghostly white fluorescence.
