Hambergite is a rare mineral species, a beryllium hydroxyborate, which occurs in the tourmaline pegmatites of Anjanabonoina. This sample shows us a group of crystals of exceptional size and quality, flattened and with well-defined terminations. Transparent to translucent, with brilliance. This mineral is usually found as single crystals, rarely on matrix, and less with this size. A museum piece.
