Description: Negotiating in the weeds for rhodizite/londonite specimens at the weekly market at Ibiti, Madagascar. The market had a little separate area for those who were running little gambling operations like a roulette wheel made from a bicycle wheel and little dice games. The specimen guys hung out in this area. You are not likely to find anything really good here, but I did buy about 100 specimens of so so rhodizite.
