Scheelite : Ca[WO4]

Beqtau-Ata (Bektau-Ata), Qaraghandy Oblysy (Karaganda Oblast'), Kazakhstan

Scheelite crystal 4x3x3 cm from cavity with optical quartz in granite pegmatite. It had grow so slowly and in such quite conditions, that its crystalline structure hasn't any defects. So this crystal don't fluorescent under any UV. But under laser stimulation it gave to us spectrum of luminescention of HREE. Collected in early 60th. Pavel M. ...
