    		 Petalite



    Fast Facts
    Primarily a collector’s piece, petalite crystals are rare and somewhat brittle due to its perfect cleavage.
    Its vitreous luster gives it a glassy appearance with a pearly luster on cleavage planes.
    Petalite occurs in Western Australia, Brazil, Italy, Namibia, Sweden, Zimbabwe, and the United States.




    Petalite was named after the Greek word for "leaf" because its cleavage is perfect, like the veins and junctions in a leaf. Petalite crystals are rare and occur mostly as coarse aggregates, but cat's eye petalite has been found. Petalite ranks 6 to 6.5 on Mohs' hardness scale; therefore, the gem will work well in necklaces, but is too brittle to be used in rings. Petalite deposits are found in W. Australia, Brazil, Italy (Elba), Namibia, Sweden, Zimbabwe, and the United States.
