NAME
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Named after Federico Pezzotta, Museo Civico, Milano,
Italy; born 1967. Dr. Pezzotta has played a major role
in characterizing the granitic pegmatites of Madagascar
and their constituent minerals. He has made major contributions
to our knowledge of the paragenesis of tourmaline-group
minerals, particularly in Elba, Italy.
