Only one place on Earth: the Kyauk-Pyat-Thet mine in Myanmar (Burma). That’s it. No other country has ever produced a single crystal.
This mine has been depleted. New finds are vanishingly unlikely. So if you own a Painite, you own a piece of history—and a very expensive paperweight.
Funny side note: most Painite crystals are ugly when raw. They look like muddy bits of gravel. Only after cutting do they reveal a deep, cinnamon-like glow.
