| Description | Tourmalinites (Tu + Qtz + Ms + Chl +/- Grt) from the Krkonoše-Jizera Unit form stratiform layers hosted in mica schists (Ms + Qtz + Grt + Chl +/- Tu +/- Bt). The tourmaline usually exhibits three compositional domains. The oldest Mg-rich tourmaline (Mg/(Mg+Fe) = 0.81-0.99) with fine-grade zoning volumetrically predominates. Mg-rich tourmaline is replaced from rim by schorl-dravite (Mg/(Mg+Fe) = 0.51-0.69), and locally in muscovite rich layers is partly to fully replaced by tourmaline following trend between schorl-dravite and foitite-magnesio-foitite (Mg/(Mg+Fe) = 0.42-0.65). The volumetrically dominant Mg-rich tourmaline is alkali (0.59-0.85 apfu Na; 0.04-0.39 pfu Xvac; 0.03-0.19 apfu Ca), enriched in Al (6.14-7.09 apfu), and calculated WO2- (0.25-0.87 apfu O). It typically follow trend along a join between “oxy-dravite” and dravite. Mg-rich tourmaline is an early formed, premetamorphic, and reflects important contribution of seawater in the oxy-dravite forming fluids. It is probably genetically related to sulfide deposit formations in closely associated amphibolites. In the contrary, both generations of later schorl-dravite are interpreted to be metamorphic. |
