WHAT DOES INDICOLITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

indicolite

Elbaite

Elbaite, a sodium, lithium, aluminium boro-silicate, is a mineral species belonging to the six member ring cyclosilicate tourmaline group, with the following general composituion: NaAl6Si6O1834 Elbaite forms three series, with dravite, with fluor-liddicoatite, and with schorl. Due to these series, specimens with the ideal end-member formula are not found occurring naturally. Elbaite – Elba Island – Topotype deposit As a gemstone, elbaite is a desirable member of the tourmaline group because of the variety and depth of its colours and quality of the crystals. Originally discovered on the island of Elba, Italy in 1913, it has since been found in many parts of the world. In 1994, a major locality was discovered in Canada, at O'Grady Lakes in the Yukon. Elbaite forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks and veins in association with lepidolite, microcline, and spodumene in granite pegmatites; with andalusite and biotite in schist; and with molybdenite and cassiterite in massive hydrothermal replacement deposits. Elbaite is allochromatic, meaning trace amounts of impurities can tint crystals, and it can be strongly pleochroic.
