Scheelite is rare here and this is a great miniature from the Yaogangxian Mine! This piece consists of a pseudo-octahedral, smoky brown, well-formed, translucent Scheelite crystal with sharp edges and lustrous faces that measures 3.6cm across. The crystal is lustrous and sharp with faint, subtle growth forms on the faces. The Scheelite is associated with translucent, white Calcite rhombs and discs to a few millimeters along with a few tiny Quartz crystals. Ex. Richard A. Blackman collection with label.

Calcite from Yaogangxian Mine, China
from the Yaogangxian Mine is not merely an accessory carbonate on famous Chinese fluorites; at its best it is one of the visual signatures of the locality. Collectors most often encounter it as crisp white to pale pink “poker-chip” aggregates, bladed rosettes, stacked pagoda-like sprays, steep scalenohedra, or flattened rhombohedral groups perched on fluorite, quartz, ferberite, scheelite, muscovite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and other Yaogangxian species. The appeal lies in contrast: delicate, pearly calcite set against glassy purple or blue-green fluorite; pink manganese-bearing calcite on sparkling quartz; or a single water-clear calcite twin rising from metallic black ferberite.
