Description

This is among my favorite pieces from this rare, remote and exhausted Greek locality. That small find of small scheelites produced mostly dull specimen with no contrast and association. The scheelite has some color to it and good contrast with the matrix and the reddish-brown limonitized pyrite adds to the association and color contrast.
