EIV26 Painite
Wetloo, Kyauk-Pyat-That, Mogok Township, Myanmar (Burma)
2.3x 1.0x 0.6 cm
$285

A nice thumbnail sized crystal section of painite. Painite was long considered world's rarest gemstone, with fewer than 20 carefully documented crystals having been collected since its discovery in the 1950's.  Then in late 2005, there was a large find of the stuff that finally made them available to collectors.  Those seem to have dried up, though at least they are obtainable now!
