Xuebaoding Fluorite, Scheelite & Muscovite Mica (Mount Xuebaoding, Hujia, Pingwu County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China)
Loftily poised well above 4000 meters elevation and in the largest nature preserve for the giant panda, the tin-tungsten deposits of the Xuebaoding massif have produced superb mineral treasures befitting the grandeur of the area.
Specimens from here may also be labeled ‘Pingwu’ or ‘Songpan,’ both of which are the names of nearby towns and their respective counties.
Whilst this is primarily fluorite, the Xuebaoding deposit is, actually, primarily noted for world class scheelite, cassiterite and beryl specimens. The scheelite in this studs and stains the muscovite mica sheets. There are also micro-crystals of scheelite on the underside.

For every $15 spent, we will plant 1 tree to offset the carbon cost of mining, shipping and packaging crystals. These are real and natural products, and so might have some flaws or imperfections. We have done our best to pick the best pieces available, but nature is often imperfectly perfect. Therefore, please only make the purchase if you are alright with this.
