Item Description

A 3.2 x 3.1 x 2.8 cm beautiful scheelite crystal is is jauntily set and angled on the elongated matrix covered with complementary pearlescent muscovite blades. The glassy, rich golden-yellow translucent pseudo-hexagonal tetragonal crystal has a beautiful and desirable gemmy corner and accenting stepped-growth faces. The base has been sawed to enhance the display. This is classic older material from Mt Xuebaoding considered the world's best locality for scheelite. Typical ghostly white SW UV fluorescence.
