This large pegmatite field is situated 275 km southwest of the capital, Antananarivo and W of Ikalamavony, W of the city Fianarantsoa in the main Highland of Madagascar. The confluence of the rivers Masiatra and Mantsahala forms the natural southern border of the pegmatite field and the town Mandrosonoro (about 125 km W of the town Ambositra) forms the northern border. Politically, the pegmatite field is actually situated in 2 regions; Matsiatra region being the area mostly south of the Matsiatra river and Amoron'i Mania region being the division north of the Matsiatra river.
This area was the largest industrial beryl area in Madagascar, originally first exploited in the 1950s.

Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
Albite var. Cleavelandite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
Amblygonite
Formula: LiAl(PO4)F
'Amblygonite-Montebrasite Series'
Description: Blocs of several kgs of the amblygonite-montebrasoite series have been found. It was labelled as amblygonite in the elder litterature (Behier 1960), but it might in fact be montebrasite. A sample labelled as amblygonite from Ankiperatra in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle was investigated using Raman spectroscopy, and found to be a montebrasite with a content of 17,9 wt% F. (Rondeau et al. 2006).

Description: Jean Behier (1960, p. 52) described a ineral he thought to be in the phosphuranylite-renardite series. He showed the presence of Pb, but concluded that a quantitative analysis is neccessary to identify the specimen. A photo has been uploaded that fits well to the description of this mineral, see https://www.mindat.org/photo-897687.html
