Mineral: | Zirconolite - 3T | Chemical Formula: | CaZrTi2O7 - UZrTiMgO7 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | close to Kyauk Kha village, near Myan Gyi (Myaing-Gyi) mine, Thurein Taung (Sun Mountain), west of Mogok, Shan State, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get a fantastic twinned and pretty big zirconolite crystal! The specimen shows no damages whatsoever and is composed out of at least six single intergrown crystals. The emitted total radioactive dose is 45 Microsievert per hour. the total gamma radiation from that is only seven Microsievert per hour. The biggest part of the radiation Beta particles, which can be shielded much easier, nevertheless this specimen should be handled with care. Very exceptional specimen for this species!!
