EMH2 Scheelite on Muscovite, Aquaarine, Albite

Ping Wu Co., Sichuan Prov., China

4.5x 4.0x 4.1 cm

$385

A very beautiful miniature, of one of my favorite combinations from Xuebaoding. Only a small percentage of the specimens recovered have such close association between scheelite and aquamarine, and this one is exceptional in that the scheelite, aquamarines, and albite are all complete. Furthermore, the aquamarines are all quite gemmy and undamaged.   This is a very well balanced miniature, and my only complaint is that the scheelite is a bit paler than I would prefer (and than shown in the images).
