About this specimen
Discover the dazzling allure of Scheelite, a rare gem from the majestic Xuebaoding Mountain in Sichuan, China. This specimen features a sharp, well-formed Scheelite crystal perched on a contrasting matrix of bladed Muscovite, highlighting the intricate interplay of mineral forms. Scheelite (CaWO4) crystallizes in the tetragonal system and is known for its distinctive adamantine to vitreous luster. With a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5, this mineral presents a translucent to transparent appearance, typically displaying a warm honey-yellow to light brown coloration, which is evident in this piece.
The Xuebaoding Mountain, located near Pingwu County, is renowned among mineralogists for producing exceptional Scheelite specimens that combine both aesthetic appeal and scientific interest. This locality’s unique geological environment contributes to the crystal’s well-defined form and remarkable clarity. Such specimens are considered highly valuable within the mineral collecting community due to their rarity and display quality, making them prized additions to any serious collection.
When handling Scheelite, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and to clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution to preserve its natural luster and structural integrity. This collector’s gem from Sichuan offers a compelling example of natural beauty and geological wonder, well-suited for display or study.
