Item Description
Typically Petalite occurs in colorless crystals, and are rarely well crystallized. This piece is an excellent crystallized example of the golden color Petalite from a new find in Burma. It is a very sharp, well-formed, GEMMY, euhedral crystal of Petalite with a darker hue than I'm used to seeing for this material. The interior of the crystal is gem quality, and this is a good gem crystal display specimen that would fit nicely into many collections. It's in good shape overall, with a good termination and prism faces.
