Ranorosoa (1986, 1989) analyzes pink,green and brownish colored tourmaline found in the contactzone and she find these to be elbaite, one an elbaite with 2,44wt% MnO.
The brown colored gave this formula Na0,52Ca0,38)0,90(Li1,45Mn0,34Fe0,08Al1,77)3,64Al6,00(BO3)3,00Si6,00O18(OH3,63F0,09)3,72.
Simmons et al (2001) states that tourmalines from Antandrokomby are members of the schorl-elbaite series with significant Mg and Ca contents. |

| ⓘ Liddicoatite ? Formula: Ca(Li2Al)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) Colour: Red Description: It is stated in Pezzotta et al. (1997) without any further analysis that the red and green tourmaline at Antandrokomby are mainly liddicoatite. In Pezzotta (1999), p 53 (german version) there is a picture of red crystals with greenish core (from a miarolitic cavity), and the accompanying texts calls these "crystals of elbaite-liddicoatite"- this is not reflected in the book text though.
These references were written before the redefinition of liddicoatite and the definition of fluor-liddicoatite in 2011. If these are liddicoatites after the new definition (IMA2025-047) is not established yet (2026).
