Damour (1886) reports find of a rose beryl and other pegmatite minerals from around Farafatrana on the eastern coast of Madagascar. However, the provenance of the minerals he described was uncertain at the time and the specimens could come from another locality. Lacroix (1908) suspected that these minerals came from the Sahatany pegmatite field.
