A very good specimen of gemmy phlogopite crystals sitting on a white marble base from Mogok Township, Myanmar (Burma). Gemmy crystals are rare for any mica species. The main phlogopite crystal of 16 mm is a sharp hexagon. The quality is superb – gemmy crystals with good transparency, light yellow-green color and strong luster. For references see the 2022 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 53, # 1. In very good condition – some natural imperfections.
Choice phlogopite!
