Black Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a complex
silicate of boron and aluminum, whose composition varies widely because of
substitutions. Black (schorl), blue (indicolite), pink and red (rubellite),
brown (dravite), green, multicolored, rarely white; vitreous; streak white.
Hexagonal, usually short to long prismatic crystals that commonly have a
rounded triangular cross section, striated lengthwise; also radiating,
columnar, compact. Tourmaline is harder than apatite and further
distinguished from apatite and beryl by striations. Tourmaline forms in
igneous and metamorphic rocks and veins. It occurs with lepidolite,
microcline, and spodumene in granite pegmatites and others. Tourmaline is
widely used as a semiprecious gemstone.
