Description

It is almost impossible to get a good scheelite from the Austrian Alps! This is a very good crystal with a bright ornage color from the famous Rauris valley in Salzburg. The color is really fantastic for entire Alps and such well shaped crystals are exceptional. One of the best crystals I have ever seen from this famous classic locality. Color and luster are compare-able with material from China - but much more; at least 100 times more rare. It is a perfect fit to every alpine collection !
