Abstract:

Tourmaline mineral has various chemical composition and multi-isomorphism on the same position.Their formation temperature and pressure range is very extensive,can be stable in the temperature of the earth’s crust pressure range,and can keep balance with various geological fluid.The main and trace elements spread rate of tourmaline structure is extremely low.And tourmaline mineral hardness is bigger,after forming can withstand erosion,weathering,diagenesis,metamorphism process and save the composition and structure when they formed.Through analysis the trace elements,stable isotopes(including B,Li,Nd,etc),radioactive isotopes (K-Ar,Ar-Ar,etc) which composite tourmaline can tracer the diagenesis and mineralization environment,including the source of the fluid,redox condition,temperature and pressure,formation age and mineral instruction significance in the exploration.

Key words: Tourmaline, Ingredients discrimination, Boron isotope, Formation age, Prospecting significance
