_small.jpg) | Label says Hidden Treasure Mine which is not correct. While Scheelite is listed as a species from Hidden Treasure, notice mindat does not have and photos of Scheelite from Hidden Treasure. All the Scheelite is from Ophir Hill Mine. This specimen is quite nice. Crystals of yellow Scheelite are somewhat larger than the average and are nicely individual crystals with separation between crystals. Most specimen have crystals touching each other and smaller. Ophir Hill is restricted to any further collecting and expecially the Scheelite that was accessible has long since been collected by local field collectors in the 1990's which was 25 years ago. ex Dana Willson MD collection. |
