Description
A RICH SCHEELITE CRYSTAL SPECIMEN ACQUIRED BY ME FROM AN ASSOCIATE OF THE MINE OPERATOR!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, this was acquired from the mine owner at the Ophir Hill Mine, Tooele County, UTAH, USA. This is one of the best and largest specimens brought up!! Due to size and weight between 40 to 50 lbs., must be picked up or driven to where you are.Endeavoring to bring high quality fluorescents to the advanced collector and future displayer of fluorescent minerals! THIS ONE IS A RARE OFFERING OF SCHEELITE CRYSTALS (THOUSANDS OF THEM SPRINKLED ON A LARGE MATRIX) LOOKING LIKE A SEA OF BLUE, with a great Calcite vein and ancillary crystals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE FUN WITH THIS PIECE :').
I CANNOT EXPRESS JUST HOW BRIGHT THIS SPECIMEN FLUORESCES, A TRUE DISPLAY QUALITY SPECIMEN, I'D KEEP BUT I HAVE TOO MUCH ALREADY.
CHECK THIS AND MANY OTHER SPECIMENS OF BRIGHT FLUORESCENT BLUE SHORT-WAVE SCHEELITE & RED CALCITE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RICH PIECE AND WHILE THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS SUB-PAR, THE SPECIMEN IS TOP CLASS! This is a unique and rare offering, as any specimens from this mine are typically hand sized OR SMALLER. This one is MASSIVE, HUGE, OF MUSEUM QUALITY TRULY! Thinking it had to be hand carried from underground, up a shaft, and remained intact is a feat in and of itself. There is no better scheelite specimen offered online, I know I check the net daily and you will not EVER see this quality, size and defined MUSEUM unique specimen being offered. Go ahead and check!!! I do hate to loose any of my prized scheelite specimens, but my loss will be some's early Christmas.
MUSEUM AND DISPLAY QUALITY &
BY FAR THE BEST FLUORESCENT SCHEELITE SPECIMEN YOU'L EVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN!!!
This specimen is a
once in-a-lifetime
example of Scheelite CRYSTALS (fl. blue SW)...[this is the true sea blue color...rare] with Calcite CRYSTALS (fl. red SW) from the Ophir Hill Mine, Ophir District, Tooele County, Utah, USA. FANTASTIC and NEVER SEEN BEFORE OR IN THE FUTURE example of this fluorescent species from this locale! This is the first time I am offering it online. The fluorescent area consists of a
richly
CONCENTRATED SCHEELITE crystals on matrix, with fl. red calcite crystals on the perimeter and some in the middle and back of this piece. The predominant fluorescence is sky blue and red SW.
It's out of this world in person! VERY RICH!!!!!!!!! One of the best scheelite specimens you'll ever have the chance of owning. It is heavy for its size, as you would imagine, and weighs in at 40-50 pounds.
Displays wonderfully, sits nicely with natural base.
The size of the specimen is 16" (40 cm) by 16" (40 cm) by 4" (10 cm), a HUGE AND MUSEUM SIZED specimen. Will not be shipped!
I really have been considering keeping this one to myself, but I have a son entering college and figured for the right price I would consider parting with it, this material is rarely ever seen for sale, and NEVER at this size and concentration. These specimens do not come up for sale often, or should I say pretty much never! I may be the only online source for this quality of material at present.
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY.
Great to add to a competitive display.
Check this and my many other offerings now and in the days to come. The fluorescent picture(s) are under SW UV light, I am using a Superbright SW lamp. I apologize for any quality issues with my photographs, I am not a photographer, but a field collector at heart. The specimens I sell are much better in person, check out my feedbacks!
Do not miss out in adding one of these high quality examples of fluorescence/mineralogy.
I am an active member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society, PAST UV Waves Editor, and have been a member for over 40+ years. Although I don't feel that aged.

I do guarantee my offerings, and as you see in my feedbacks, many buyers tell me how the specimens are better in person.
