Londonite, Antsongombato gem mine, Anosiarivo Manapa, Betafo Dist., Vakinankaratra, Madagascar
Size: 6.1x6.0x5.0cm
Species: Londonite
Locality: Antsongombato gem mine, Anosiarivo Manapa, Betafo Dist., Vakinankaratra, Madagascar
Description: A nice specimen featuring a yellow londonite with saturated pink tourmaline in massive quartz. What is of particular interest about this specimen is that you can actually see the contact of the pegmatite with the country rock in the second picture where the quartz has a flat discolored brown face. So it is not only an aesthetic specimen but a great geologic hand specimen.
