Emplaced nicely on a matrix of massive ore are hundreds of drusy, lustrous, vivid orange crystals of stolzite, an uncommon member of the scheelite group. This is a very rich, sparkly, display-sized specimen, rare in such quality. In fact, it is one of the larger examples we have seen over the years, in terms of coverage. In person, it sparkles nicely!
