This is a superb, very sharp, glassy, totally transparent Phenakite crystal from Burma with crisp edges and faces and displaying a well developed pyramidal termination. It is so sharp and gemmy that it looks carved, as if from ice. It is a full-sized and competitive-level thumbnail. It has a mass of 3.5 grams. In person, you will see it is a stunning gem crystal of the highest quality for what it is. Mass in phenakite is always lower than it visually looks.
