Description

Look at this very excellent Scheelite-Quartz specimen from the abandoned Penouta Mine near Boal in Asturias in northern Spain, which worked a Tungsten deposit. Amber-yellow, relatively extensively stepped, pyramidal crystals up to over 1 cm in size on relatively translucent Quartz crystals, some of which have a faint artichoke shape. These extremely rare and highly aesthetic specimens have not been offered in this quality in recent years from this locality. This Asturias mine is sometimes confused with the Penouta Mine near Ournse in neighboring Galicia in northwest Spain, known for its excellent Cassiterite crystals.
