The Camp Bird mine in Ouray Co., Colorado, USA has produced some very fine Scheelite crystals for the US. Unusually, compared to many other world occurrences, the Scheelite occurs on Fluorite. This fine cabinet specimen features many bipyramidal, or octahedral if you prefer, tan coloured, glossy, resinous Scheelite crystals, to 8 mm across, on microcrystalline colourless to milky-white Fluorite. Many of the crystals are perfectly formed, but one is missing a tip to one of the pyramidal terminations. Specifically from the King's Stope, 5 Level, Camp Bird mine, this is a fine specimen of American Scheelite. From a very well-known and highly regarded German collector.
