Item Description
Typically Petalite occurs in colorless crystals, and are rarely well crystallized. This piece is an excellent example of the "champagne" color Petalite from a new find in Burma. This crystal has a lot of etching, with good gemminess and consistency of color. Despite the fact that it is not 100% complete, it is a worthwhile gem crystal display specimen that would fit nicely many collections. How often do you have an opportunity to buy an example of a gem mineral that is rarely offered on the market with such a unique color.
