A stunning, perfect, pristine GEM crystal of phenakite from the famous gem mines of Burma, and dating to the finds of the early 2000s. This style of elongated crystals came out by 2000-2003 and has become legendary for the sharpness and quality of the terminations. This is a particularly choice example that was long in the single gem crystals suite of noted thumbnail collector and lecturer, Jim Houran of Dallas. 22.43 carats.
