A MAJOR scheelite for the locality, with unusually good luster and faces ...but also a rich peach-orange color that is much prettier than the normal brownish hue you see in smaller examples from here. These are quite rare. I have handled only a handful in 20 years. This is by far the best in terms of aesthetics I have seen, although I once had a slightly larger, if cruder, specimen. Charlie considered this to be a very important specimen in his Namibian suite, as do I.
