| Chemical Formula: | AlO(OH) | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | transparent - translucent | Quantity: | | Origin: | Mong Hsu, Shan State, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get a pretty big chromium bearing diaspore crystal. The crystal discloses twinning with fine intact termination. The only damage is visible along a thin prism side all other areas are fully terminated or seem to be recrystallized. Diaspore crystals are normally found in very small sizes, below one carat , this one has weight of over 2 carats!! A true rarity from the Mong Hsu mine.
