It is named for Karl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786), who determined that the mineral contained tungsten. It has a vitreous to adamantine lustre, a hardness of 4.5 to 5 and a high density of about 6.1, and it glows bright bluish white under short-wave ultraviolet light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Xuebaoding deposit lies in the northern Longmen Mountains of Sichuan and is well known for coarse crystals of scheelite, beryl, cassiterite and fluorite. Its ore veins run from granite into marble between the Pankou and Pukouling granites. Muscovite and beryl line the veins in the granite, while the main crystal zone, with scheelite, beryl, cassiterite, fluorite, apatite and needle-like tourmaline, lies in the marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eResearchers studying the deposit concluded that the crystals grew so large because the fluids were rich in ore elements and fluorine, the pure marble host held few impurities such as iron, and open space in the veins gave the crystals room to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one of a kind Scheelite on Muscovite mineral specimen from China features a rich amber-orange Scheelite crystal with broad, sharply angled faces and a warm translucent glow. The Scheelite has smooth geometric surfaces mixed with natural etched textures, fine internal veiling, small dark inclusions, and scattered pale crystal markings. A bright silvery-white Muscovite cluster grows along one side, adding layered mica blades and reflective fan-like formations that create strong contrast against the honey-coloured Scheelite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eScheelite is a calcium tungstate mineral and one of the most important natural sources of tungsten. It is especially valued by mineral collectors for its dense feel, tetragonal crystal form, warm colour range, and strong fluorescence, often glowing blue to blue-white under shortwave UV light. China is one of the world’s best-known sources for collectible Scheelite specimens, with notable material coming from tungsten-bearing deposits in regions such as Sichuan, Hunan, and Jiangxi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003eScheelite is often associated with focus, ambition, clarity, and purposeful action. Its golden-orange colour is commonly connected with confidence, motivation, and creative energy, while Muscovite is often associated with reflection, insight, and emotional awareness. Together, Scheelite on Muscovite is often viewed as a specimen for direction, mental organization, and balancing practical goals with inner clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: Scheelite: CaWO4, Muscovite: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith this product, you will get the actual stone in the photograph.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"China","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48622826160298,"sku":null,"price":980.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/7158\/3658\/files\/ScheeliteonMuscovite-SichuanProv-China-980.jpg?v=1783032027","url":"https:\/\/rubblerockandgem.com\/zh-hans\/products\/scheelite-on-muscovite-specimen-xuebaoding-china","provider":"Rubble Rock And Gem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
