Within a vug on this speicmen, there is a light brown colored Scheelite crystal which fluoresces the typical bright blue/white typical for the species. There is also an interesting, elongated, complex crystal in the vug of an unidentified material. The old labels mention Reinite, a variety of Ferberite. Examination under 10x does reveal a number of small, elongated, black crystals which do appear to be Ferberite. The specimen is from an obscure location (no specimens posted on mindat).

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: Although mostly masssive material, the Scheelite crystal is in excellent condiiton.
