Аннотация:Tourmaline is stable over a wide range of
conditions from low temperature hydrothermal
alteration to high grade and high pressure
metamorphic environments, and magmatic
conditions. It occurs in caprocks and salt
domes, in granite and granite pegmatite, in the
volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits, in
the porphyry-copper deposits, in metamorphosed
stratabound Pb-Zn deposits, in
mesothermal gold and tin deposits, in greisen
tin and tungsten deposits, and schist-hosted
emerald deposits.
In this paper chemical substitutions, trace
element compositions, and Fe3+/Fetot values,
which allow distinguishing tourmalines from
different hydrothermal deposits are reported.
