Mineral: | Magnesiotaaffeite-2N’2S / Taaffeite
| Chemical Formula: | Mg3Al8BeO16 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Ohngaing (Ohn Gaing; Ohn Kai) village, near Mogok, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get a fairly big taaffeite, quite rounded and with one polished face was done for identification purpose. Newest analysis have shown that the most of the Burmese taaffeite crystals have been musgravite, I can’t be sure about this for this specimen cause to distinguish these two species you need advance instruments. But for sure you get a piece from the taaffeite family.
