- Abstract
The article reports on the discovery of chromium/vanadium (CR/V)-bearing kyanite from Madagascar. A blue kyanite was faceted by Fabrice Danet in 2004, from a mixed parcel of mostly rhodolite, zircon, and amethyst that was represented as coming from the eastern coastal area of Madagascar. After preliminary testing, the stone was found to contain Cr and V. Danet donated the stone to the Gemological Institute of America for further testing. The properties of the stone are comparable to those reported for kyanite by R. Webster in the book "Gems."
