Mineral: | Feldspar, Plagioclase, Variety: Albite
| Chemical Formula: | NaAlSi3O8 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Sakangyi area, west of Mogok, Shan State, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get a very rare & gemmy plagioclase crystal, normally gemmy orthoclase crystals can be found, in this case you can see distinctive (albite) twin lamellae, and therefore it can't be an orthoclase.
