This is the best overall liddicoatite I have yet seen come from the last few years of prospecting in Madagascar, because it is on matrix and because the color is so incredible. As well, the termination is SHARP and the luster is glassy! The rich, Jonas-red cranberry color of the piece leaps out at you and is more vibrant and colorful in person than it appears here. I got this at Munich directly from the collector, a friend and researcher who travels the area frequently. It is a very special piece! 4.8 x 3.1 x 1 cm
