Very sharp thick tabular crystals, one of them clearly dominant, with well developed dipyramidal and pinacoidal faces and a very short prism. Their color is very intense and uniform and they are on matrix, something very uncommon with such samples. It is from the type locality.Sakavalana Mine, Ambatovita, Mandrosonoro, Ambatofinandrahana, Fianarantsoa, MadagascarSpecimen size: 2.4 × 1.4 × 1.7 cm = 0.9” × 0.6” × 0.7”Main crystal size: 0.6 × 0.6 cm = 0.2” × 0.2”Type localityEP66AA1
