About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, scheelite with calcite at 3.1 cm and 42 g; a miniature. A sharp orange scheelite crystal with white calcite patches on its faces, the two minerals the supplier lists.

Scheelite is calcium tungstate, forming orange to honey-coloured bipyramids with a greasy lustre and a bright blue-white fluorescence 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.

The Xuebaoding veins of Pingwu County, Sichuan, produced the orange scheelite and muscovite-aquamarine combinations that put Chinese minerals on the map.

Dimensions place it in the miniature range, 3.1 × 2.5 × 2.6 cm (1.22 × 0.98 × 1.02 in) and 42 g (1.5 oz). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
