About this specimen

Xuebaoding, Sichuan, scheelite with fluorite and mica at 12 cm and 587 g; a large cabinet piece from a classic locality.

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

Chinese fluorite has become a staple of modern collections for its sharp crystal faces, strong colour and a lustre that reads well from across the room. Mica forms pearly hexagonal books that catch the light between the other crystals.

Sichuan's alpine-type veins and skarns yield aquamarine, prehnite, epidote and scheelite of international quality.

The piece is large cabinet in size, 12 × 9.5 × 4.5 cm (4.72 × 3.74 × 1.77 in) and 587 g (20.7 oz). Otherwise the piece is sold exactly as photographed.

Each specimen is individually photographed and catalogued before it is listed.
