Scheelites of Gavrilovskoe deposit (first find)
- student Saint Petersburg State Mining Institute (Technical University)
Abstract
The Gavrilovskoe deposit (deposit of building stone) is situated in Vyborg district, Leningrad region. There was found scheelite (CaWO4) in the «Northern» quarry at the Gavrilovskoe deposit in 2008. This mineral was identified exactly in the Saint Petersburg State Mining Institute (Technical University) with Raman Spectrometer Renishaw InVia Reflex. It was for the first time that scheelite was found at this place. There was researched a form of one scheelite crystal. The simple forms of this scheelite crystal were detected. It is very interesting to compare simple forms of scheelite from the Gavrilovskoe deposit to different crystals of this mineral, described in any science literature.
