An excellent miniature combination specimen from the Yaogangxian Mine of China. Sharp, lustrous, translucent, light chocolate-brown Scheelite pseudo-octahedrons to 9 mm are very attractively scattered on a pristine, floater, doubly terminated Quartz crystal. Outstanding combination material from this noted locale from the Jaime Bird Collection. Superb white fluorescence on the Scheelite.
