Large 5.8cm Scheelite crystal that is partially coated by Lollingite associated with green Quartz. The Scheelite crystal is partially etched. One side is totally covered by shiny Lollingite crystals while another is etched and reveals a more translucent core of the Scheelite and a really interesting feature, a metallic silver-colored mineral that formed as an epimorph of the Scheelite and was later covered by another layer of Scheelite. An interesting specimen that also has visual pizzaz due to the shiny Lollingite and green Quartz.
