Mineral: | Ekanite
| Chemical Formula: | (Ca,Fe 2+,Pb)2 (Th,U)[Si8O20] | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Oh Saung Taung, (Oak-Saung Taung (Phayar Taung)), Le-O, (Le U), northeast of Mogok, Burma (Myanmar) | This is the biggest Ekanite specimen I have seen so far. You will get lass carbonate matrix then rather deep green Ekanite crystals two in one matrix disclosing rare crystal faces!! And the typical crystalline fracture faces. The specimen discloses partly deep green transparence areas at the surface. Ekanite rough as crystals are extremely rare in general but especially from this locality. The emitted radioactivity for gamma particles is 9,4 µSv/h and the dosage for all three particles types is 14,2 µSv/h.
