6th July Tana – Moramanga

Missing my Malagasy Gemmologist for this leg as he has to be in Antsirabi for a meeting, so it’s just me and the driver. Trip down was uneventful, except for dodging all the broken down trucks going to and from the port of Tamatave. Found a nice hotel, or at least it seemed that in the town and started to look at stone. First afternoon only bought some Rhodolite.
Moramanga is about centre of the gem fields to the north and south. There are ruby, sapphire, garnet, beryl and chrysoberyl that I know of.
