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) | A really big fine hexagonal shaped zirconolite with flat termination while the other side shows a crystalline fracture . Nevertheless this specimen has enormous size for this species which used to appear only a few millimeter sizes. This specimen is the biggest I have seen so far! The radiation of this specimen is 7 µS/h for gamma rays only and 43 µSh for alpa- beta, and gamma particles. So it should be handled with care, although the main radiation is caused by alpha- and beta- radiation which easily shield.
