Londonite with Liddicoatite from Madagascar is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible mineral association prized by serious collectors. Londonite, a rare cesium-rich feldspar in the monazite group, typically forms pale yellow to greenish translucent crystals. It is often found intergrown with Liddicoatite, a unique lithium-rich member of the tourmaline family known for its striking multicolored zoning. Madagascar is one of the world’s few sources of both minerals, and specimens showcasing these two together are especially sought after. Their coexistence offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s complex pegmatitic geology, where rare elements like cesium, lithium, and aluminum crystallize under unique conditions, making these pieces scientifically significant and visually stunning.
