Species: | 'Chromium-dravite' (not an IMA approved species) |
Formula: | NaMg3Cr63+(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) |
Comments: | Extremely unlikely occurrence of a chromium-bearing tourmaline in a granite pegmatite. The statements in Min Rec. 33:215 are insufficient to accept this identification. Optics, specific gravity, and "gemological techniques" can not be accepted as conclusive proof. Quantitative chemical analyses are necessary. |
