An unusually large, rich, and pretty example of this extremely rare tungstate species, from mining in the 1920s-1940s. Pieces of this magnitude are extremely rare today! The crystals are like little gems, and leap out at you with color and complexity. This is significant, thus, but also beautiful. 8.1 x 7.0 x 4.3 cm
