Scheelite
This is easily one of the finest and largest scheelite specimens, for sale, ever found in Arizona. Probably found in the 1930-40's, this composite specimen has two, large, translucent crystals, to 6.0 cm in length. But the single, most compelling characteristic is its almost neon, glowing reddish- orange color, which rivals the most deeply saturated scheelites from China. AND THE SIZE! IT WEIGHS ABOUT THREE POUNDS! There is even a colorless, lustrous quartz crystal, 4.0 cm in length, on top right corner of the specimen. It is complete on the front and back sides, with only a few nicks and some minor asymmetries. Only on the front far left side is there any real damage. But this is overwhelmed by the sheer magnificence of the specimen! This piece, for impact in both context of natural history and sheer gutbusting beauty and color, is important! I asked Les and Evan how they would rank this and both basically felt that they between them have three of the top pieces known, of which this is one (and the bigger) .
