Grandidierite  

ED56AL5: Undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, uncut Grandidierite crystal found in the deposit, both for the perfection of its crystal forms and for its luster, transparency and color intensity, as well as for its gem quality. All this made it worthy of being on the cover of the German magazine Mineralien Welt, and it was also featured in the Mineralogical Record.
