5.7 x 4.6 x 2.4 cm. A STRIKING and RARE specimen of a sharp, saw tooth mountain range of highly lustrous, striated, parallel-growth, jet-black wolframite crystals from the very famous Taewha Mine of Korea. Wolframite is essentially unknown from this famous locality, which at one time, was considered to produce the world’s finest scheelites. Ex. George Feist Collection.
MD-135183 - Wolframite, Dolomite - - Archived Panasqueira, Covilhã, Castelo Branco District, Portugal miniature, 4.8 x 3.5 x 3.4 cm.
4.8 x 3.5 x 3.4 cm. An EXCELLENT and CLASSIC cluster of lustrous, blocky, parallel-growth wolframite crystals from Panasqueira, Portugal. The wolframites are nicely accented and complimented by two generations of dolomite. It almost looks like a cogwheel bournonite, in one view. Ex. George Elling Collection.
MD-150468 - Wolframite, Quartz - - Archived Horní Slavkov (Schlaggenwald), Karlovy Vary Region, Bohemia (Böhmen; Boehmen), Czech Republic small cabinet, 5.2 x 5.2 x 3.0 cm.
5.2 x 5.2 x 3.0 cm. An old-time and showy specimen of lustrous, stepped, gunmetal-gray wolframite crystals attractively set amidst quartz on a massive wolframite matrix from a classic Czech locality - Schlaggenwald. Fine old material from the George Elling Collection.
MD-164924 - Wolframite - - Archived Panasqueira, Covilhã, Castelo Branco District, Portugal miniature, 4.9 x 3.9 x 3.8 cm.
4.9 x 3.9 x 3.8 cm. This is a whopper, chunky crystal of wolframite, not from China where a flood has come from lately but from the classic wolframite locality of Panasqueira. Calcite crystals have grown on the back and sides, and the display face has these pretty terraces and fine luster.
MD-180764 - Quartz, Pyrite, Wolframite - - Archived Panasqueira, Covilhã, Castelo Branco District, Portugal cabinet, 10.0 x 9.0 x 4.5 cm.
10.0 x 9.0 x 4.5 cm. A superb cabinet specimen of a water-clear, glassy quartz crystal beautifully coated with sparkly pyrite microcrystals and attended to by highly lustrous, tabular/blocky wolframite crystals and smaller quartz crystals. Ex. Cal Graeber and Dave & Emily Stoudt Collections.
MD-21692 - Fluorite, Wolframite - - Archived Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang Co., Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China small cabinet, 6 x 5 x 4 cm
This specimen features a 4 cm stepped purple octohedron of exceptionally deep color, perched atop a glistening, jet-black, thick crystal of wolframite. It is very 3-dimensional, more so in person than it appears. The fluorite is pristine and undamaged and wraps around the top of the wolframite (though it does not continue down the backside, but rather terminates on a plane with the wolframite edge). 6 x 5 x 4 cm
MD-220797 - Wolframite - - Archived Camborne - Redruth - St Day District, Cornwall, England, UK small cabinet, 6.0 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm.
6.0 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm. An old-time wolframite specimen from the famous Camborne-Redruth-St. Day District of Cornwall, England. The piece consists of massive, partially euhedral, highly lustrous to moderate lustre, parallel-growth wolframite blades. Certainly not pretty to look at, but this is large and very highly representative from this classic and famous district. Accompanied by an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
MD-34736 - Wolframite, Scheelite - - Archived Trumbull, Fairfield Co., Connecticut, USA miniature, 4.6 x 3.9 x 3.7 cm
This material came out over 100 years ago, and is considered one of the most classic of East Coast "black uglies," quite hard to obtain today! This is one of the largest examples, and certainly the best and largest single crystal that I have seen for sale myself by a long run. It is remarkably complete, if a bit crude on some faces, all around. 4.6 x 3.9 x 3.7 cm
