Hi

    Thank you for the correction. I will try and look into this large
    Burma Peridot on my next trip. They may have it in their Gem Museum.
    Anyway if it is  still in rough, it would be a wild speculation what
    can be cut out of it. When I refer to rare stones I was talking about
    cut stones of 20 to 40 caraters. Not crystals of under 10 carats.
    Sorry for not being specific. 

    Regarding this this big jade in Phakam is not chunk of royal green
    either. I was lucky to visit Phakam and saw that rock - still in the
    ground, and could see the lower tip of it. Again, it is still part of
    a mountain so who knows how big it is. Honestly I want to be there
    when they put on a balance- a machine that can weight few thousand
    tons. Basically, it is propaganda piece for the Pha U, the minority
    who runs the place as well some mines Mohng Shue. (The Red Ruby
    Dragon group) 

Thank again you for you note,
