Locality type:

Cape

Classification

Species:

Tourmaline var: Rubellite

Formula:

A(D₃)G₆(T₆O₁₈)(BO₃)₃X₃Z

Comments:

According to Pura Alfonso et al. (see ref.) "All the tourmalines from the Cap de Creus pegmatites belong to the schorl-dravite and schorl-fiotite series, and the elbaite component is absent even in the most Li-rich pegmatites of the field."

The only Cap de Creus rubellite reference, a photo of the book Minerales de España by J. Mollfulleda ( http://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/download.php?id=158723 ) is most likely mislabeled / mistaken

The reference cited below (Barreche E.) refers to a brown tourmaline which is probably dravite.
