About this specimen
Amber where its upper edges catch the light, olive-brown through the lower half, a single scheelite octahedron stands point-down against a small spray of colourless quartz. The lustre is greasy rather than glassy, and the faces carry an etched, pitted texture that scatters the highlight instead of returning it whole. The quartz behind is white and low-key, a backdrop rather than a competitor.
Scheelite is calcium tungstate, CaWO4, crystallising tetragonal — the shape reading as an octahedron is really a doubled pyramid, and that near-symmetry is what satisfies in the hand. Xuebaoding, above Pingwu in Sichuan, is the classic Chinese locality for the species, and its crystals run this amber-to-brown range. Expect it to feel heavier than its size suggests; tungsten does that. Mohs 4.5 to 5, so it scratches easily, and under short-wave ultraviolet it typically glows blue-white.
It measures 4.6 × 3.0 × 3.6 cm and weighs 65 g on its clear acrylic cube. The octahedron pictured is the one reserved under this listing.
