This large miniature specimen of small (2 to 3 mm) fudge-coloured Scheelite crystals on Quartz is a little mysterious in its labelling. It appears to be classic Cínovec/Zinnwald, Erzgebirge, Saxony or Krusné Hory, Ústí Region (Bohemia) - two neighbouring orefields straddling the Germany-Czech Republic border. However, it is accompanied by an old handwritten Krantz label providing the locality as "Riesenguind Riesengeb". Not instantly recognizable as a Scheelite locality, "Riesengebirge" in the Giant Mountains in northern Czech Republic is, and specimens are rarely seen. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021) who were meticulous in keeping historic labels with specimens.
