Scheelite on Muscovite (Ref: 6.2-899)
Mt. Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang Pref., Sichuan Province, China
43mm x 34mm x 30mm
minID: D25-TFF
Outstanding miniature with a sharp and glassy Scheelite crystal nestled in Muscovite blades. The Scheelite is translucent to transparent and has the sought-after orange color. There is no damage or chipping but there is some cracking to note near the base which have been stabilized. This is not distracting or easy to find without some magnification. The price has taken this into account. Good Scheelites with fine color have become costly, larger specimens of this quality are often well into the 5 figures. This piece was collected in 2005 while the small mines on the higher reaches of Mt. Xuebaoding were active. More recent finds from Pingwu are found at lower elevation and mostly are a light yellow to brownish. A pretty modern classic. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
