Nature occasionally composes a specimen better than any curator could: here a 17 cm plate of glittering muscovite forms an open nest, and at its centre rests a single scheelite dipyramid in soft peach-rose — one crystal, perfectly placed, like an egg the mountain laid.

About this specimen
Nature occasionally composes a specimen better than any curator could: here a 17 cm plate of glittering muscovite forms an open nest, and at its centre rests a single scheelite dipyramid in soft peach-rose — one crystal, perfectly placed, like an egg the mountain laid. The isolation is the luxury. Nothing crowds the crystal, and the eye lands exactly where it should.
The muscovite deserves its own look: thousands of pearly blades stack into overlapping rosettes across the plate, shimmering silver as the piece turns and flattering the warm crystal they surround. This mica-nest association is the signature of the high fissure pockets of Xuebaoding Mountain in Pingwu County, Sichuan — the locality that redefined what scheelite (CaWO4, tetragonal) could look like.
At 1,775 g and 17 × 13 × 7.1 cm this is a genuine cabinet plate that displays as well lying flat as raised on a stand, and under shortwave UV the scheelite answers with the species’ blue-white glow while the mica stays dark. The photographs show this exact plate.
