Abstract
The determination of the fluorine content of courmalines yielded 0.28% as an average value for schorlites and dravites and 0.97% for elbaites. The plot of the fluorine contents against the lithium contents shows that the distribution of projection points for pink or green elbaites differs from that for lithian indigolites. Tourmalines are poorer in fluorine than lightcoloured micas at the same stage of pegmatite evolution. Individual regions with pegmatite occurrences can be characterized as rich or poor in fluorine according to the fluorine contents in the tourmalines and micas contained in the pegmatites.
