Madagascan Corundum

26th April 2008

Hi All,

I acquired this lot of corundums in 2005 just as the extraction got started at Zazafotsy.

Now just about all the good stones are shipped off to Thailand for treatment and facetting.

A shame really as the colour and form at this locality are great.

To illustrate; below are 6 photos of 6 specimens from the "same hole" - the picture links will let you see 20 specimens on my e-Rocks page.

Cheers

Mark
