Description

Species: Betafite

Dimensions: 2.0 x 3.2 x 2.7 cm

Very nice well-formed cube-octahedral betafite crystal that just barely fits in a thumbnail box from the classic Tsaramanga Pegmatite, Betafo District, Vakinankaratra, Madagascar. This has a TON of classic old labels, going all the way back to the famous Ecole de Mines in Paris! Great betafite with a great provenance! Ex. Eric Quinter Collection.
