GUID (UUID V4):

The Cap de Creus peninsula is the eastern end of the Pyrenees and is composed of a variety of rocks with a wide range of metamorphic degrees increasing from low grade until anatexis with related granodiorite and pegmatite intrusions. These materials belong to the deepest zone of the Variscan orogeny structural level.
Its rocky landscapes and outcrops are famous for being an example of a complex of clear and well-exposed tectonic structures, especially ductile shear zones.

In the metasedimentary sequence, one can distinguish four main areas whose degree of metamorphism increases towards NE:
1 - Epimetamorphic zone (greenschist facies)
2 - Mesometamorphic zone (biotite facies)
3 - Perianatectic zone (cordierite - andalusite to sillimanite facies)
4 - Migmatite complex
In the last two areas there are many pegmatite intrusions and this is where most of the mineral species listed in this location are found, many of them observed under a petrographic microscope and hardly recognizable by the naked eye.

Cap de Creus peninsula is a protected area – collecting is prohibited - included in Parc Natural del Cap de Creus comprising three municipalities: Cadaqués, El Port de la Selva and Roses.

ⓘ '~~Tourmaline'~~

Formula: AD₃G₆(T₆O₁₈)(BO₃)₃X₃Z

Description: According to Pura Alfonso et al. (see ref.) "All the tourmalines from the Cap de Creus pegmatites belong to the schorl-dravite and schorl-fiotite series, and the elbaite component is absent even in the most Li-rich pegmatites of the field." The only Cap de Creus rubellite reference, a photo of the book Minerales de España by J. Mollfulleda ( http://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/download.php?id=158723 ) is most likely mislabeled / mistaken The reference cited below (Barreche E.) refers to a brown tourmaline which is probably dravite.
