The scheelite is exceptional for Zinnwald ...this is CLASSIC old scheelite from a classic locality, with crystals to 9mm, perched on a terminated quartz shard. This is very beautiful and aesthetic!.

American Museum of Natural History and shows a Bement collection numbering on the bottom, along with the "arrow" that the AMNH curator Gratacap used to show alignment of specimens on a display shelf. This indicates the piece was on display after the donation of the Bement collection around 1910, by JP Morgan
