Description

Chinese scheelite is considered the best in the world and the deposits seem to be over, so this will definitely be a future classic. This piece is large, with the biggest crystal 4.5 cm across. The overall aesthetics offer a great display to the piece and the crystals are lustrous and translucent, more than normal. There is a point of damage on the smaller crystal with deeper color, but its not easily visible, one needs to pay attention. For the size and luster, I think we could tolerate this issue.
