The material comes from volcanic and sedimentary deposits on the island known locally as Lemur Island due to its abundant lemur populations. Madagascar itself separated from Africa around 160 million years ago and became isolated, allowing unique lemur species to evolve after ancestral primates rafted across the Mozambique Channel approximately 50-60 million years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eQuartz, Chalcedony, Iron Oxide\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eVugs, Cavities, Crystalline, Hollow, Banding, Botryoidal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGold, Purple, White, Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLocality = Lemur Island, Nosy Varika, Madagascar\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Good to A Grade\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize = 67 - 106 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AGATE - Lemur Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50144072138945,"sku":"182-395-260416KW","price":1988.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/182395_13.jpg?v=1776777855","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-lemur-island-crystalline-geodes-x-6-from-nosy-varika-madagascar","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
