Oxy-dravite

Formula:
Na(MgAl2)MgAl5(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3O
Colour:
brown, brown-black, red-black
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
For its relationship to dravite, although it is NOT an analogue of dravite (see below).
Tourmaline Group.

Oxy-dravite has been used as a preliminary working name for a much-studied new member of the tourmaline group which has already appeared several times in the mineralogical literature. It was submitted and approved as a new species by the IMA in 2012.
This species is related to dravite by substitution of one OH by (ideally) one O, the altered charge balance being compensated by replacing one Mg by a trivalent Al/Fe. This different charge balance means that "oxy-dravite" is not a true analogue of dravite.

Compare also oxy-schorl.

Originally (as an unapproved species) reported from Alto Chapare District, Chapare Province, Cochabamba Department, Bolivia.
