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 great gemminess and consistency of color. It is one of the bigger Burmese Petalites that I have handled, and is a worthwhile gem crystal that would fit nicely many collections. The majority of the crystal is virtually water clear!
