Liddicoatite Tourmaline Slice (Anjanabonoina pegmatites, Ambohimanambola Commune, Betafo District, Vakinankaratra Region, Antananarivo Province, Madagascar)
33 x 37 mm
This a slice of Liddicoatite Tourmaline with a black edge band, concentric rings of light and dark greens, and a beautiful pink triangle in the core. Multicoloured or polychrome liddicoatites are rare, because they tend to be single or bi-coloured.
Liddicoatite – a calcium-rich lithium tourmaline – is revered for its complex color zoning that often displays several vibrant colors. The common trigonal pattern comes to life when the gem is fashioned as polished slices that highlight the characteristic red, purple, green and yellow hues of this striking gem. Multicolored zoning – what gemologists refer to as parti-colored – occurs when the trace elements change in concentration or composition during a crystal’s growth.
