This is a specimen where the Calcite crystals are undamaged and did not fully cover the specimen. The octahedral yellow orange Scheelite crystals are small like normal but they have not been exposed to the damaging HCL. The are untouched gemmy octahedral Scheelite. This is another specimen that I had put into my collection for the past 8 years.
