Description |
Scheelite from this locale, before the discovery of Chinese material in modern times, was considered by most collectors to be the best of color for the species. Crystals were far and few between, and traded as if they were Platinum among sophisticated collectors. This is a large crystal for the locale. Most are on the order of 1 cm or smaller. This is robust in size, form, and has a deeply saturated orange-red color to it. Ex American Museum of Natural History, by exchange to collector/dealer Lawrence Conklin in the 1980s. |
