Scheelite
Pingwu Co., Sichuan Province, China
A large, distorted octahedral crystal of honey-gold scheelite with a little silvery muscovite. Actually it looks like it is two intergrown crystals. A large contact area on the reverse side, otherwise in good condition. It fluoresces a bright blue-white under SW UV illumination, more white and less blue that the photo shows.
