Scheelite from Xuebaoding is prized for its unusual dipyramidal crystal form and bright orange fluorescence under UV light. ✦ MINERAL HIGHLIGHTS Scheelite crystals display their characteristic pseudo-octahedral to dipyramidal habit, with the typically pale yellow to orange coloration that identifies this important tungsten ore mineral. The accompanying muscovite mica provides a beautiful silvery contrast. A key identifying feature of scheelite: under shortwave UV light, it fluoresces a brilliant sky-blue to white—a dazzling effect rarely seen in other minerals. ✦ LOCALITY SIGNIFICANCE Xuebaoding—"Snow Treasure Peak"—in Pingwu, Sichuan is one of China's most prestigious mineral localities. Famed for its high-altitude pegmatite deposits, it has produced world-class scheelite, aquamarine, and muscovite for decades. Access is now highly restricted, making specimens increasingly rare. ✦ COLLECTOR VALUE Scheelite from Xuebaoding is recognized globally among collectors for exceptional crystal form and UV fluorescence. Combined with muscovite, this represents a classic and desirable piece from one of China's premier localities. ✦ WHAT YOU RECEIVE - 1 natural mineral specimen as pictured - Professionally packaged for safe shipping 📦 Ships worldwide with tracked, insured service.
