Roche Crystal Also known as The Diamond, it is found South West of Mauritius, close to the Bénitiers Island. Naturally carved out to look like a plate coral, this 'rock' stands supreme, in stark contrast with the calm blue sea, with sparse young filao trees growing on its rocky structures. This small islet is a popular site for locals and tourists alike.
