About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, scheelite with calcite at 7.4 cm and 308 g; a small cabinet piece with real weight. A large honey-yellow scheelite crystal with small white calcite crystals dotted across its faces, the scheelite glassy beneath.

Scheelite forms pseudo-octahedral bipyramids in Chinese tungsten deposits and fluoresces blue-white under short-wave UV.

Collectors chase calcite for form rather than colour: crisp crystal edges and a habit you can identify from across the room.

Xuebaoding in Pingwu County is the classic Chinese source of scheelite, aquamarine and cassiterite on muscovite, mined from high-altitude greisen veins.

By size it is small cabinet, 5 × 3.6 × 7.4 cm (1.97 × 1.42 × 2.91 in) and 308 g (10.9 oz). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
