Presenting this remarkable Phenakite, which occurs in various locations worldwide, with one of the most notable sources being the Mogok Valley in Myanmar. The crystal is exceptionally well-positioned atop its matrix, exhibiting well-defined faces on all sides. It is completely free of damage, with several areas exhibiting gem-quality clarity. This specimen represents the finest example I have acquired from Myanmar, particularly as high-quality pieces have become exceedingly rare due to their disappearance from the market in recent years. Additionally, I have rarely encountered Phenakites of comparable quality from other alpine regions, and those that I have seen were significantly smaller. This particular piece features a stunning shape with an excellent termination, characterized by multiple terminations that enhance its uniqueness and appeal.
