Description:
Topazolite is one of the rarest varieties of andradite. It receives its name from its colour which includes many hues between yellow and brown. Until the discovery of the deposit in Madagascar, it used to appear as small-sized crystals. The specimens of this deposit can reach exceptionally large dimensions, sometimes more than 2.5 cm, as is the case with the specimen here shown. |
