Extract

In a previous paper describing the geological and petrographical details of the adinoles of Dinas Head, short references were made to the common occurrence among the adinoles and associated rock-types of the magnesia-rich tourmaline, dravite. It is proposed now to describe these tourmaline-rich rocks in more detail and to discuss the question of their origin.

Adinoles with accessory tourmaline occur wherever true adinoles are developed at Dinas Head, although tourmaline is characteristically absent from types 2 a, b, c, and 3 [1, pp. 318–323]. Bands with up to 30 % tourmaline occur interbanded with normal adinoles of type 1 and with certain spilosites.
