Scheelite blue pendant silver Ag 925 P638

Unique silver pendant with rare natural scheelite. Ag 925.

Scheelite was discovered recently. The mineral as such has been known for a long time, but its blue variant has been known for a relatively short time. Its appearance resembles ripples or lace. It is tungsten ore, a calcium tungstate mineral. Blue scheelite consists of several types of minerals - calcite, which gives the unmistakable blue color, scheelite (dark cream, golden or yellow parts) and blue dolomite, which creates stripes, ripples, lace.
Thanks to this, the mineral is balanced from the point of view of male and female energy (Yin and Yang).

Scheelite was discovered in 1781 in the Swedish mountain Bispbergsklack, Säter, Dalarna. The mineral was named after Tsar Wilhelm Scheele, the Swedish pharmacist who discovered tungsten.
It is used in jewelry. It is found in Switzerland, Arizona, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Turkey.
