Item Description

RARE, unexpected and excellent combination fluorites from the famed Huanzala Mine. Scheelite is RARE from the famed Huanzala Mine. UV light lit up the beautiful glassy fluorites (purple) and the calcite (pink) as expected, but the sharp metallic looking 1.0 cm pseudo-octahedron glowed yellow - scheelite! The limpid fluorite cuboctahedrons are a pretty lavender. The 1.0 cm quartz needle and the calcite nicely frame the scheelite. The contacted back of this piece shows the true size of the scheelite. A rare, colorful and beautiful two-piece deal from this renowned locale.
