Mineral: | Thorite
| Chemical Formula: | (Th,U)SiO4 | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | transparent - translucent | Quantity: | | Origin: | Pyaung Gaung mine, Bernardmyo village, north of Mogok, Burma (Myanmar) | Here you get a rarity; a transparent green Thorite with a very fine pear cut. The radiation dosage is just 3 µSv/h (gamma rays) directly measure in front of the Geiger counter, anyway the stone should handle with care. Except a small pit on the backside is this stone without any blemish. The transparency is ranging from transparent to translucent. The surface shows extreme fine luster. A real collector’s stone.
