KB: MUSEUM QUALITY/SIZE CONCENTRATED FL. SCHEELITE & POWELLITE, PINE CREEK MINE

Description

A FANTASTIC MUSEUM QUALITY AND SIZED SPECIMEN  OF THE SCHEELITE ORE OCCURRENCE FROM THE PINE CREEK MINE.  JUST RELEASED FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT WON'T LAST. THERE IS SO MUCH SCHEELITE & POWELITE ON THIS SPECIMEN IT IS HARD TO FATHOM.  HIGHLY CONCENTRATED WITH LARGE GRAINS OF DISSEMINATED/SOLID ORE.  I know this is ore because this was not obtained the normal collecting route, but found in the closet of the Mine Geologist's Office when the site was closed.  Once I saw it sitting there I knew this was an actual rich ore specimen.  I had the unique opportunity to claim some items during a brief visit many years ago, just before everything went to a museum.  You know when I saw this piece I had to leave with it.  Very rare, and not likely to see similar since this was originally from underground, and is a very clean piece.
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 SCHEELITE & POWELLITE HERE!!!!
