Item Description

Typically Petalite occurs in colorless crystals, and are rarely well crystallized. This piece is an excellent crystallized example of the "champagne" color Petalite from a new find in Burma. This crystal has fairly sharp faces, with good gemminess and consistency of color. Despite the fact that it is not 100% complete (contacted on the back), it is a worthwhile gem crystal display specimen that would fit nicely many collections.
