Pezzottaite is a rare cesium beryllium lithium aluminum cyclosilicate of the beryl族, crystallizing in the trigonal system as prismatic to tabular crystals with a distinctive raspberry-red to deep pink color. It has a Mohs hardness of 8 and was first discovered at the Sakavalana mine in Madagascar, where it occurs in lithium-rich pegmatites. Gem-quality pezzottaite is highly prized by collectors as 'raspberyl' for its brilliant red color and rarity, and the mineral represents an important example of cesium incorporation in beryl-group structures.
