Tourmaline

Tourmaline（矿物名）

Tourmaline or "tourmaline group" does not refer to a specific mineral, but to a group of minerals which share the same basic ring-shaped arrangements of silicon, boron and oxygen atoms.

电气石或'电气石族'并不是指一种特定的矿物，而是指一组具有相同基本环状硅、硼和氧原子排列的矿物。

Tourmaline is used commonly for a family of 11 minerals which share this structural arrangement. The name tourmaline comes from the word "turmali" used by Sri Lankan gem merchants to describe an undetermined mix of gemstones. These gemstones are commonly found in pegmatites where the conditions exist for the growth of spectacular crystals. These are some examples of the tourmaline family:
