This excellent display specimen features a fine combo of  intense egg yolk-yellow scheelite accompanied by black, sharp cassiterite. This is a rare example of Russian treasures from a historic mining location. Both minerals are well developed, the surfaces are lustrous and the octahedrons of the scheelite are translucent. A very good specimen in top condition with minor damage.
