Recorded under neon light
 

EAG96CD1: Unusual, both due to the fact that the crystal is isolated and well defined in its Feldspar matrix as well as for being so aerial, so free, so that its morphology is perfectly displayed.
Very few grandidierites have been found in matrix and even fewer so aerial.
Grandidierite deposit, Tranomaro Commune, Tranomaro-Maromby area, Amboasary District, Anosy Region (Fort Dauphin Region), Toliara Province (Tuléar)  Madagascar (2017-2018)
