Chondrodite

Item Description

A rarely seen matrix display specimen of Chondrodite from the gem tracts around Mogok. Originally, this piece came to us labeled as Norbergite (from Oakssaung Hill), but further analysis has shown that these pieces are Chondrodite (possibly Clinohumite). With that said, they are some of the best matrix specimens of gemmy Chondrodite that I have seen from any locality in Burma. A lone 6 mm crystal of Chondrodite sits in a massive grey/white Calcite matrix. The crystal has good overall form, with no damage, a waxy luster and beautiful burnt orange color. If you're a species collector, this is a good Chondrodite to pick up for your collection.
