Madagascar

Discover an exceptional collection of mineral specimens from Madagascar, one of the world's most prolific and gemstone-rich countries, celebrated for its extraordinary mineralogical diversity and pegmatite deposits found across the island.

The Ilakaka region has become globally significant for major sapphire deposits, while Antsirabe and the surrounding pegmatite fields are renowned for exceptional morganite, heliodor and multicolored tourmaline, prized for their clarity and vivid hues. Madagascar is also the primary source of rare grandidierite, a striking blue-green mineral found in significant quantity nowhere else on Earth.

This collection features stunning rose quartz, large celestine geodes with sky-blue crystals, fine labradorite with vivid iridescent flash, beryl varieties, kunzite, colorful tourmaline, and exceptional amethyst and citrine from the island's abundant quartz deposits. Madagascar's pegmatites have also produced notable spodumene, apatite and rare phosphate minerals prized by systematic collectors.

Malagasy minerals are especially valued for their vivid coloration, exceptional size and remarkable variety, with Madagascar ranking among the top global sources for both fine gemstones and aesthetic mineral specimens.

From the sapphire fields of Ilakaka to the gem-rich pegmatites surrounding Antsirabe, Madagascar remains one of the most important and dynamic sources of world-class collector minerals and gemstones.
