Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Serendibite
Locality: Mogok, Pyin Oo Lwin District, Mandalay Division, Burma (Myanmar) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 1.6 cm x 0.9 cm x 0.4 cm
Named after Serendib, the old Arabic name for Sri Lanka, this is a very rare and large crystal of the species. This species is a very rare, seldom crystallized member of the sapphirine family of minerals. Because large crystallized examples of this extremely rare species were so important, confirmatory analysis was done by Dr. George Rossman at Caltech on these, when the first samples came out around the early 2000's with gem dealer Bill Larson. It is about 25 carats. It is well terminated. Joe Budd photo.
