Description

Very nice and complete floater crystal with some well defined faces and edges and parallel, polycrystalline and rough growths. It is transparent, very bright and has a honey-yellow color. A Spanish classic, very hard to find today. The local collectors, formerly, found them in the galleries searching with the help of ultraviolet lights of short wave given the strong fluorescence of this scheelite, these lights also helped them to avoid the attacks of the great amount of scorpions that lived in the galleries, since the scorpions are also fluorescent.
