Scheelite with Goshenite Beryl

Item Description

This locality has produced some of the most distinctive and signature specimens from China. The best of the Scheelites from Huya are incredible and world class for what they are. This particular piece features sharp, lustrous, translucent, reddish orange color, pseudo-octahedral crystals of Scheelite which are associated with tabular, gemmy, colorless "Goshenite" Beryl crystals free of matrix. The quality is very good and the best of these specimens are some of the finest examples of crystallized Scheelite in the world. The piece is essentially a "floater" as the bottom recrystallized when it became separated from the pocket wall, and I can't find any damage anywhere on it. It obviously shows classic bright blue fluorescence under UV light. Valued at $750.
