Mineral: | Serendibite
| Chemical Formula: | Ca2(Mg,Al)6(Si,Al,B)6O20 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | partly transparent in transmitted light | Quantity: | | Origin: | Ohngaing (Ohn Gaing; Ohn Kai) village, near Mogok, Burma (Myanmar) | This is a small but very fine example of terminated Serendibite. The crystal shape is incredibly sharp with good prismatic shape and fine typical termination. Also the specimen discloses beside a relatively good transparency, the typical pleochroism in transmitted light.
Idiomorph Serendibite crystals are a real rarity and no further specimens have been found in Burma.
