Lac Alaotra is situated about 180 km NE of the capital Antananarivo and is the biggest lake in Madagascar. Several mineral localities are found around the lake. In general, the localities west and northwest of the lake belong to the Amparafaravola District and the localities east and south of the lake belong to the Ambatondrazaka District . Numerous LCT pegmatites of the Beryl-Columbite subtype are located east of the lake, and LCT pegmatites of the Chrysoberyl subtype are southeast of the lake.
Minerals from these localities have often been brought to the market in the town of Ambatondrazaka. Thus, minerals from this region are frequently labelled "Ambatondrazaka" or "Lake Alaotra". For chrysoberyl specimens see especially the localities Andreba, Ambatosoratra, Masiadrivotra and Ampanorana Est .
