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 somewhat ethced faces, with good gemminess and consistency of color. It is a worthwhile gem crystal display specimen that would fit nicely many collections. How of ten does one see Petalite with this color in any form of crystallization?
