JPK28 Rhodizite-Londonite with Liddicoatite
Antsongombato, Betafo Region, Madagascar
4.4x 3.7x 3.2 cm
$135

A rhodizite-londonite specimen, hosting a well exposed crystal on a matrix that also contains embedded pink liddicoatie tourmaline. The pink tourmaline provides a nice degree of color contrast.

This species is a rare borate known primarily from Madagascar.  For the sake of accuracy, I have labeled this as "rhodizite-londonite" because I cannot tell with certainty which end member of the solution series is present on this specimen...
