A 10 cm wide amphibole-pyroxene vein with yellowish-green prismatic crystals of chrysoberyl up to 6-7 cm in length has been found near the village of Tsitondroina and specimens were first presented on the Denver and Munich shows in 2010.
Note on taramite: The amphibole is often labelled as "taramite" and sold as such. So far, there seems to be no published analytical data supporting the identification of taramite in these rocks.
