Translucent, extremely lustrous, rich orange, pseudo-octahedral crystals of scheelite, are intergrown, forming an aesthetic specimen. All terminations are present, rarely seen in these beautiful scheelites from China. The largest crystal measures 3.5 cm across. The piece is actually a floater: completely crystallized, if irregular in growth, even on the backside!
