Scheelite from Namibia.

This article from the Journal of Gemmology discusses scheelite, a collector's stone that forms a solid-solution series with powellite. The article focuses on scheelite from Namibia, which was displayed at the February 2024 Tucson gem shows. The author compares the UV fluorescence behavior of scheelite from Namibia with scheelite from Kern County, California, noting that the Namibian scheelite fluoresced yellow to long-wave UV radiation, while the samples from the USA were inert. The article also provides information about the origin of the Namibian scheelite and mentions that new production of scheelite gemstones from this locality is unlikely in the near future.
