Poudretteite is a rare mineral with a hardness of 5 and a chemical formula of KNa2B3Si12O30.  The mineral was found in Mogok in the early 90s, and since that initial discovery, a limited number of pieces of rough have been recovered.

Poudretteite Information at Mindat.org

Although knowledgeable miners in Mogok continue to search for Poudretteite rough, faceted examples of this mineral remain very rare.  This gem is actually very nice, with some inclusions but an attractive light pink color.  The cutting is good, and the strong brilliance of Poudretteite can be seen, even in this small gem.
