THERE IS SO MUCH SCHEELITE & POWELITE ON THIS SPECIMEN IT IS HARD TO FATHOM. Of even rarer occurrence is the presence of FL. red Calcite making this a 3-color Strawberry Mine specimen, Very Rare! Endeavoring to bring high quality fluorescents to the average collector and future displayer of fluorescent minerals! I CANNOT EXPRESS JUST HOW BRIGHT THIS SPECIMEN FLUORESCES, A TRUE DISPLAY QUALITY SPECIMEN, I'D KEEP BUT I HAVE TOO MUCH ALREADY. LOTS OF BENITOITE HERE!!!! CHECK THIS AND MANY OTHER SPECIMENS OF BRIGHT FLUORESCENTS FROM CALIFORNIA. THESE ARE EXTREMELY RICH PIECES AND WHILE THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS SUB-PAR, THE SPECIMEN IS TOP CLASS! MUSEUM QUALITY & EXCELLENT FLUORESCENT SPECIMEN!!! This specimen is an excellent example of concentrated and disseminated Scheelite (fl. blue & blue/white SW), Powellite (fl. yellow SW) and Calcite (fl. red SW) with non-fluorescent epidote and garnet from the Strawberry Mine, Madera County, California, USA. FANTASTIC example of these fluorescent species from this locale! It's out of this world in person! VERY RICH in Scheelite & Calcite!!!!!!!!! The first time being offered from my personal collection. Collected by me on October 6, 2007. Displays wonderfully. The size of the specimen is 11" (27.5 cm) by 7" (17.5 cm) by 5" (12.5 cm), an unbelievable sized LARGE matrix scheelite ore specimen. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY, I ONLY HAVE ONE OF THIS SIZE AND QUALITY. 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.
