Old timer from Madagascar: from a small lot of brownish yellowish to greenish beryl specimens from Tongafino comes this incomplete (shard of) translucent beryl crystal with old Krantz label. Tongafino or Tongafena is according to the literature another name for the Tsaramanga pegmatite near Mahaiza which is mined for rose quartz and blue beryl nowadays.
