About this specimen

Scheelite Crystal: Discover the allure of a rare Xuebaoding scheelite, boasting a striking large orange-yellow hue. Nestled on a mica matrix, this exceptional specimen hails from Sichuan, China, making it a must-have for collectors seeking one-of-a-kind mineral treasures.

This scheelite crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system, exhibiting a well-defined octahedral form that highlights its natural geometric beauty. With a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5, it is moderately durable, while its adamantine to vitreous luster enhances its vibrant color and visual appeal. The chemical formula CaWO4 reflects its composition as a calcium tungstate mineral, which is prized both for its rarity and its role as an ore of tungsten.

Originating from the renowned Xuebaoding Mine in Sichuan Province, this specimen benefits from a locality known for producing some of the finest scheelite crystals in the world. The crystal's semi-transparent orange-yellow coloration is complemented by its sharp crystal faces and clean edges, creating a striking contrast against the dark, reflective mica matrix beneath.

Collectors will appreciate this piece for its rarity and display quality, offering a unique combination of color, form, and provenance. When handling, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and to store it in a stable environment to preserve both the crystal and the delicate mica matrix.
