Description

A very rare scheelite from this old Russian locality. It is complete all around; all faces are highly lustrous and all edges are razor-sharp terminated. The most amazing indicator is the habit with additional modified faces. The color is even more intense than any crystal I´ve ever seen from China. No significant damages to report.
