This is a highly unusual combination specimen featuring a purple scheelite atop a white scheelite, itself perched atop a large gem-clear fluorite crystal coated with manganoan calcite discs. This is from a very rare find of PURPLE scheelite, seen only very seldom in all the world of minerals over the years, that occurred here in early 2012 (I believe the pocket was hit in march). The matrix is actually a white, fluorescent scheelite, decent example in its own right. The purple scheelite sits atop. Unfortunately the relatively thin overgrowth of purple scheelite is a little dinged on the tip, and has a crack (natural) running through it which is distracting from several potential display angles, if not all of them (hence the price less than I paid for it in China). But the piece is still a very interesting combination and a good white scheelite combo piece, in its own right. Fluorescent shots are also shown
