Short summary
Seventeen tourmalines from Brazil were investigated by structural and chemical techniques. Most samples are Na-dominant and belong to the alkali group. They correspond to fluor-elbaites or elbaites, except one sample, which corresponds to a rossmanite. Structural data indicate that the B site is fully occupied by boron, that the T site is occupied by Si, and that the Z site is mainly occupied by Al. The X site contains vacancies, Na, K, and Ca, and the Y site is mainly occupied by Li, Al, and Fe2+.
