A Brief Overview Of Madagascar Minerals

By Arthur Johnson


On the south eastern edge of Africa is an island nation called Madagascar. The Mozambique Channel which is 300 miles wide separates this island from mainland Africa. The unique geographical location and land formation has led to the discovery of numerous and precious Madagascar minerals. These stones are luxurious, come in numerous colors and are used for a range of ornamental purposes.

One of the most common extractions is the Diopside. It comes in white to light green pyroxene color. This stone is precious because it contains little to no aluminum. The colors are also very rich and solid. It may also appear in predominant white color which has very minute composition of aluminum but no iron at all. This makes it a desirable mineral for table top and surface decoration materials.

The gold found on Madagascan river beds is also unique and of an incredible quality. The gold is concentrated on the central axis on river beds and primary rocks. Gold co-exist alongside other stones like sapphire, aquamarine, zircon and garnet. Their quality beats other extracts from around the world. It is thus attractive and highly prestigious when made into ornaments and luxurious objects.

There is a rare variety of beryl on the Madagascan island belt. The beryl found in Madagascar is the rose pink type that has been christened morganite by some mineral experts. It comes in an exquisite color in general but each stone has unique properties. Beyond the individual patterns, they reward miners with limpidity and come in uniquely beautiful colors. The beryl found in the Madagascan Island is unique and incomparable to the other varieties found around the world.

Tourmaline is another prestigious stone from the Madagascan islands. It is mainly used for ornamental purposes. You will find the stone in different colors including yellow, green, violet red, blue, rose, and even red. These stones come in crystal shapes that make them extremely valuable and beautiful. They are used for decorating unique and luxurious surfaces with the products on which they are used selling at a premium.

These minerals have found uses in the most unique products to make surfaces and decorative items. Labradorite is specifically used for luxurious table and surface tops. It gives your surface an electric midnight feel with its combination of neon blue, black and white feel. You also have the option of a blue apatite top that is equally luxurious but gives you more blue coloration than the night neon feel.

With Madagascar being an island nation, the stones have found contextual uses in sculptures. You have incredible sculptures like dolphins that are mounted on discs. The favorite stone that comes with the blue ocean feel is the labradorite. You may also order the rose quartz heart, petrified wooden vessel sink or the chestnut jasper bear feeding on fish.
