Locality: Skardu, Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan
Translucent, lustrous, pseudo-octahedral crystals of orange scheelite, to 1.0 cm across, are nestled among colorless, transparent, quartz crystals, the longest of which measures almost 3 cm. This is from a new find in Pakistan, which I got ahold of recently! I have not seen others for sale, at least as of this time. NOTE: THIS IS NOT the same locality as previously known for Pakistani scheelite. 8.1 x 5 x 3.3 cm
