A fairly large plate with one surface covered with Scheelite crystals and a few, small, scattered Goshenite and Quartz crystals. The Scheelite is a light orange/caramel color which was hard to reproduce which is why the pictures vary a bit in color. The second picture is the closest. The Scheelite crystals are well formed with an elongated tetragonal habit many of which are double terminated. They have a high glossy luster and are translucent with a few of the smaller ones partially gemmy. Under SW UV, the Scheelite fluoresces a vivid blue/white. Note: because of the thickness of the matirx, the specimen is heavy weighing approx. 4 1/2 lbs (2 kg).

Condition: Very Good to Excellent

Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
