RM3625   Titanite, scapolite, calcite and diopside
CaTi(SiO₄)O
  -  9. Silicates

The titanite crystals from this Malagasy locality are largely unknown to collectors. They are a group of very good-sized crystals with defined faces and a brownish color, set within a matrix of calcite, scapolite, and diopside. A very interesting specimen, both for its location and for the unusual size and shape of the titanite. It was identified as coming from Fort Dauphin. The Amboasary district is famous for its numerous deposits of thorianite and phlogopite.

Size: 7.4 x 5.2 x 3.6 cm.
Main crystal: 4 x 3.5 cm.
