Laurentthomasite Mine, Beravina, Ambaro, Tsaraitso, Betroka District, Anosy, Madagascar

Here we have some photos of the Laurentthmasite mine provided by Laurent. The find was quite exciting in the mineral world, a new species with good color! Laurentthomasite is a beryllium silicate and shows exceptional pleochroism from blue to yellowish green. Since the original find only very small fragments have been found and specimens on the market are becoming more scarce. We have updated our shop with the majority of our remaining laurentthomasite specimens. 

Hope you enjoy seeing these photos of where the specimens come from!
