Description

Nice example of a quartz crystal in part with reddish hematite staining hosting tan beige small scheelite crystals. The SW-UV fluorescence is more pale yellowish which indicates a higher molybdenum content. The accompanying label is an example for Krantz reusing older labels as generic ones - it says scheelite on gneiss so does not really belong to the specimen although it was in the box. The locality is undoubted because as this is a very typical specimen.
