Short summary
An unusual tourmaline was studied using a multi-analytical approach. The sample comes from a granitic pegmatite on the island of Elba and consists of three generations of tourmaline: green prismatic tourmaline, a dark fibrous cap, and colourless acicular single crystals. The most likely scenario for its formation involves the miarolitic cavity fracturing due to mechanical shock, the subsequent circulation of the highly reactive cavity fluids, and the leaching of accessory biotite in the surrounding pegmatite.
