A loose crystal with perfect high luster endfaces. The piece was found in June 1992 in a large pocket, which, however, delivered almost exclusively loose crystals.

Unfortunately, in 22 years of traveling to Madagascar, it has not been possible for me to visit the mountain Anjanabononoina near the town of Manapa, around which so many highly interesting deposits would have to be visited. My Malagasy friends strictly refuse to bring me to this area, as unfortunately bush robbers ("dahaly" in malgache) make the area highly unsafe.
