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. It's also larger than the vast majority of Petalites I've seen from this locality. 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. Valued at $500.
