TIM18 Scheelite
Huanggang Mine, Hexigten Banner (Keshiketeng Co.), Ulanhad League (Chifeng Prefecture), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China
11.6x 6.3x 4.7 cm
$450
A very large scheelite on a magnetite matrix. This is priced very cheaply, because I heard that the yellow coloration may be a product of the cleaning process. If you wanted a large matrix scheelite from this location at an affordable price however, this would be a good candidate-- even with the off color you would be lucky to find another from a Chinese dealer at this price. The luster is glassier and the surfaces smoother than usual-- typically they are heavily etched.
