Mineral: | Enstatite | Chemical Formula: | Mg2Si2O6 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | transparent - translucent | Quantity: | | Origin: | Pyaung Gaung mine, Bernardmyo village, north of Mogok, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get the biggest enstatite crystal I have seen so far a doubly terminated piece with a great undamaged shape disclosing many growing and etched marks like peridot crystals from the same mine. The termination faces are cascade shaped but without any crystalline fracture planes. The color is along the b-axis a yellowish brown and along the a-axis a deep olive-green. A great rare piece from Burma !!
