Description

Scheelite from Karman is relatively rare. This particular specimen shows a highly lustrous dark orange main crystal. The colour is very good, compareable with best coulour from chinese lacalities. The combination with sharp terminated glossy quartz crystals is very attractive. Please note: The corner in front of the scheelite crystal is not demadged, it just has not enough room to grow and developed sharp thiny steps.
