Lepidolite pseudomorph after Tourmaline var. Rubellite Sahatany Pegmatite Field, Vakinankaratra Region (Betafo - Antsirabé region), Antananarivo Province, Madagascar 5.1cm x 4.7cm x 4.1cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A unique example of lepidolite after rubellite tourmaline from Madagascar!!! This specimen hosts several intensely colored pseudomorphs of lepidolite after rubellite tourmaline in stark white albite!!! The main crystal still retains the tourmaline crystal's sharp features but has been completely replaced by deeply colored purplish-red lepidolite!!! The lepidolite can even be gemmy in small areas!!! There is another reddish orange unidentified species in association with one of the pseudomorphs as well!!! This specimen is simply magnificent in person!!! This specimen needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
