About DraviteHide

Dravite Type Locality

Dobrova pri Dravogradu, Dravograd, Slovenia

Formula:

NaMg₃Al₆(Si₆O₁₈)(BO₃)₃(OH)₃(OH)

Colour:

Pale brown to dark-brown to brownish-black, also dark-yellow, blue, green.

Lustre:

Vitreous, Resinous

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

3.03 - 3.18

Crystal System:

Trigonal

Member of:

Tourmaline Group

Name:

Named in 1883 by Gustav Tschermak for the river Drau (in Latin, Drave), on which the type locality is situated.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Dobrova pri Dravogradu, Dravograd, Slovenia

A very common member of the Tourmaline Group.
Dravite-Elbaite Series, Dravite-Schorl Series.

The Mg analogue of schorl.
The OH analogue of fluor-dravite. Compare oxy-dravite.

Green-to-red color change in Cr-bearing dravite is caused by the Usambara effect (see tourmaline for details), which is similar to the alexandrite effect.

Dravite from Syros, Greece, is the first example of Mg-rich tourmaline with significant admixture of tetrahedral boron (beside the dominant triangular-coordination form). The one from a pegmatite at Forshammar, Sweden, has the highest amount of REE for a pegmatitic tourmaline, although this is still a trace amount (≤ 1200 ppm).

Physical Properties of DraviteHide

Lustre:

Vitreous, Resinous

Transparency:

Transparent, Translucent

Colour:

Pale brown to dark-brown to brownish-black, also dark-yellow, blue, green.

Comment:

The results indicate that the tourmaline is dravite. Its UV–vis absorption spectrum shows strong broad absorption bands at approximately 436 and 600 nm, with a pronounced transmission at 520 nm, which directly accounts for its emerald green color. Obvious polarized absorption was observed along and perpendicular to the c-axis. XPS and PL results confirm that chromium is present in the samples in the form of Cr3+. EPMA compositional analysis indicated a low Cr2O3 content of 0.804 wt.%; combined with crystal structural properties and spectral responses, these results suggest that Cr3+ preferentially occupies the Y site in the crystal structure and that d–d electronic transitions represent the underlying mechanism of its color formation. This study comprehensively illustrated the mineralogical and spectral properties of Cr-bearing dravite.

Streak:

Light brown, rarely white.

Hardness:

7 on Mohs scale

Tenacity:

Brittle

Cleavage:

Poor/Indistinct
Very poor {1120} {1011}

Fracture:

Irregular/Uneven, Conchoidal

Density:

3.03 - 3.18 g/cm³ (Measured) 3.038 g/cm³ (Calculated)

Optical Data of DraviteHide

Type:

Uniaxial (-)

RI values:

n_ω = 1.634 - 1.661 n_ε = 1.612 - 1.632

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.022 - 0.029
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized uniaxial interference figure - the conoscopic (convergent-light, Bertrand-lens-in) view, for a grain cut with the optic axis centred and vertical. The coloured rings are isochromatics, computed with the same physics as the Michel-Lévy bar above; the dark cross is the isogyre.

For a genuinely uniaxial mineral viewed this way, that cross stays perfectly stationary if you rotate the stage - unlike a biaxial mineral, where it splits apart on rotation. That invariance is itself the standard diagnostic test for telling uniaxial and biaxial minerals apart at the microscope.

Thickness: 30 µm

Pleochroism:

Strong

Comments:

O= pale yellow
E= colorless, yellowish, greenish, brownish
