A superb sharp tan colored pseudo-octahedral crystal is set on a small amount of matrix. Damage-free and complete all around. Measures 2.6 x 2.6 x 2.4 cm in size overall. These have been labeled as "scheelite" in the past; recent examinations have found the crystals to be stolzite. Ex Dawn and Jim Minette collection #T1128. Their data card notes that the specimen was collected by noted geologist Vince Morgan in 1958. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 15: 17.
