Scheelite and Quartz, Mt Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang, Sichuan, China
Size: 4x3.7x2.7cm
Species: Scheelite and Quartz
Locality: Mt Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang, Sichuan, China
Description:
Extremely aesthetic cluster of 3 scheelite crystals with a wonderful ember orange color and great luster. The main crystal is extremely distorted giving it an almost dogtooth spar look. Toward the top of the crystal the stone is so transparent it moves towards facet grade material. Really great association of terminated quartz crystals push this tangerine orange scheelite over the top. Last I heard they closed this area to collecting and were cracking down on now illegal specimen mining.
