• Description: Tourmaline-supergroup minerals are found in a large variety of igneous, metamorphic, hydrothermal and sedimentary rocks. Eastern border of the Bohemian Massif (contact of the Moldanubian Zone, Svratka Unit, and the Moravo-Silesian Zone of the Brunovistulian terrane) has extremely variable geology with tourmaline occurrences in granites, marbles, mica schists (tourmalinites), orthogneisses (tin-bearing metagranites), skarns, pegmatites, granulites, migmatites, and hydrothermal veins. This book provides an introduction to the geological evolution of the area and tourmaline occurrences; it is aimed as a field-trip guidebook for specialists in tourmaline petrology and mineralogy.
