THIS IS NOT FROM PING WU! It is, instead, one of the finest scheelites I have seen from the Yaoganxian Mine where the mineral is quite rare. It has a 3 x 3 x 4 cm crystal perched aesthetically on a natural pedestal of matrix. The color is reminiscent of Ping Wu, but different. The highlights at the tip add a bit of flare. The crystal is undamaged and pristine all around, very 3-dimensional, save only a tiny contact or ding on the back as shown in the left pic (or upper-rear as shown in the rightmost pic)
