We were offered in mid-2011, a small lot of a new find from Northern Burma, which contained this one large specimen of quality and a number of mediocre specimens of smaller size and less coverage. This piece is big, showy, and has a brilliant blue color. Some minor damage is present but...We have not yet seen better from here. The find reportedly was made at a small copper mine in Northern Burma, near the border with China. The specimens then were bought and resold to me within China. We are still waiting to get an exact locality, but more details and specimens seem hard to obtain. Joe Budd Photos.
