A geological term for a pegmatite district located Southeast of the town Antsirabe, geographically located in both the Antsirabe 2 District in the Vakinankaratra Region and in Fandriana District in the Amoron'i Mania Region. Pegmatites of Beryl-Columbite subtype occur close to the Vorondolo Massif.
Among the most known pegmatites in this Pegmatite Field is the Ialamitana pegmatites.
There are several granite pegmatites in this field. Some were exploited by the french Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) 1947-1948.
Active mining for high quality rose quartz (2001).
