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 amazingly sharp, well-defined faces, with great gemminess and consistency of color. It is one of the largest Burmese Petalites that I have handled, and despite the fact that it is not 100% complete, it is a worthwhile gem crystal display specimen that would fit nicely many collections.
