About this specimen

An amber-orange scheelite sits in its nest of cream muscovite blades like a yolk in meringue — the crystal’s octahedral form softened by natural etching to a wet-glass gleam, its color deepening to burnt honey at the core. The mica wraps it on three sides, framing without hiding.

Orange is the color Xuebaoding scheelite is chased for, and crystals nested in intact muscovite — rather than plucked loose — carry the locality’s signature presentation. Under shortwave UV the scheelite answers with blue-white fluorescence while the mica stays dark.

It measures 8.9 × 4.6 × 5.1 cm and weighs 290 g. From Xuebaoding, Pingwu County, Sichuan. The photographs show the exact specimen.
