Cassiterite, Ferberite with Fluorite, Quartz, Arsenopyrite, Pyrite
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, China
Small Cabinet	7.5x6x6cm	365g
Dominant on this specimen are large but damaged xls of ferberite, fluorite, arsenopyrite and quartz. Most remarkable is however a seam of reddish brown cassiterite xls to 0.8cm, located between the ferberite and the arsenopyrite. Cassiterite is considered being a rare species at Yaogangxian, and the xls, although fairly large, well developed and undamaged, cannot meet the standards of Yunnan or Sichuan locations. On the other hand are cassiterite specimens often misattributed to famous locations, such as Yaogangxian!

In between the fluorite grows a multitude of small, well crystallized minerals, namely arsenopyrite, ferberite, chalcopyrite and calcite. The specimen is almost a floater, only contacted at small areas on the top and the violet side.

Scheelite, Beryl var Goshenite, Muscovite, Microcline
Near Huya, Xuebaoding Mountain, Pingwu, Sichuan Province, China
Cabinet	17x14x6.5cm	1687g
Wild jumble of scheelite (to 2.4cm, colors from yellow opaque to orange transparent), goshenite (to 3cm, colorless) and muscovite (blades to 2cm). The appearance is reminiscent of yellow cliffs in white surf. The goshenite areas may appear irregular but are fully crystallized and undamaged. Lack of color and countless internal reflections make the goshenite difficult to photograph, the specimen looks much better in person and has quite a dynamic appearance, which is not common in rocks!
