Description

From the Dr. F Krantz stock comes this nice small example featuring a distorted quartz crystal (floater) hosting small purple cubes of fluorite and more than a dozen of scheelite bipyramids of light brownish colour. The scheelite seems to contain some molybdenum as the SW UV response is yellowish. Late 19th/early 20th century.
