SCHEELITE on QUARTZ

Up until the finds in China in the early 2000s, the Scheelite from Tae Hwa mine in South Korea was considered the benchmark for the species. This small cabinet specimen is a good example of why. At over 6 cm across, this perfectly formed octahedral Scheelite crystal is an absolute beauty, sitting wonderfully upon a small bed of white Quartz crystals. In reality, it looks more like a pyramid, or even a snowy mountain, for it has a thin white film across its surface which adds to its character. Its edges are sharp and clean, and apart from one missing lower corner and perhaps colour, is the perfect example of what a Scheelite crystal should look like.

Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
