Camp Robin is a new Madagascar locality and this excellent piece is from the 2006 find. A 3.7 cm, bi-colored, doubly terminated liddicoatite crystal is perched on the side of a sliver of intergrown, partially euhedral smoky quartz crystals. The terminations are a very vivid pink and contrasting center is black on this lustrous and translucent crystal. The termination is moderately lustrous and the crystal is complete-all-around and pristine. Striking and highly representative material from this recent find.
