This specimen is an outstanding example of the rare combinations of species coming out of China. It's a single, double-terminated Quartz crystal that has a dense coverage of Pyrite and discoidal Calcite crystals on the bottom with the top side having dozens of small octahedral, fluorescent blue (under SW UV light) Scheelite crystals mixed in with small Pyrite crystals. A wonderful combination and beautiful, especially when seen under shortwave ultraviolet light.
