    Description: Gem quality cut stone, allegedly from Mogok, featured in travel article, but there is no firm evidence it really originated there. 10/2009: According to information of different gem dealers the material was initially analysed by the AIGS- and GIT-labs in Bangkok on RI and SG. Fragments were now investigated in Vienna with EDS and by single crystal diffractometry and found to be Poudretteite.
