Mineral: | Phenakite
| Chemical Formula: | Be2SiO4 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Palelni mine, Khetchel (Khat Che) village, Molo quarter, Momeik Township, Burma (Myanmar) | This phenkaite crystal is special, from the first pocket of phenakite which have been found in this locality, only some of them showed those “crown” head terminations. In fact is extra rhombohedral crystal faces. Those faces give the phenakite crystals almost a beryl appearance. This specimen has a superb transparency and luster but sadly also a crystalline fracture face along one prism side. Nevertheless a great piece, rarely seen!!
