Abstract Rossmanite is a new tourmaline species from near Rožná, western Moravia, Czech Republic. It forms pale pink columnar crystals about 25 mm long and 5 mm thick, elongaten along c with striations parallel to c on the prism faces. It is brittle, H= 7, Dmeas = 3.00 g/cm3, Dcalc = 3.06 g/cm3. In plane-polarized light, it is colorless. Rossmanite is uniaxial negative, to = 1.645(1), e = 1.624(1), trigonal, space group R3m, in the hexagonal setting a = 15.770(2), c = 7.085(1) Å, V = 1525.8(4) Å3, Z= 3. The strongest six X-ray diffraction lines in the powder pattern are at d = 3.950 Å with I = 100% for (hkl) = (220); 2.552 Å, 93%, (051); 1.898 Å, 72%, (342); 4.181 Å, 58%, (211); 2.924 Å, 56%, (122); and 3.434 Å, 53%, (012). Analysis by a combination of electron microprobe, SIMS, H-line extraction, and crystal-structure refinement gave SiO2 38.10 wt%, Al2O3 44.60, Na2O 1.43, Li2O = 1.13, B2O3 = 10.88, H2O = 3.70, F = 0.20, O ≡ F 0.08, sum = 99.96 wt%, Fe, Mg, Ca, Mn, Ti, F, K not detected. The formula unit (31 anions) is x(⃞57Na0.43)Y(Li0.71Al2.17)zAl6(Si5.92O18) (B2.92O9)(OH)3.83F0.10O0.07, with the ideal end-member formula ⃞(LiAl2)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)4; thus rossmanite can be derived from elbaite [Na(Al1.5Li1.5)(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)4] by the substitution x⃞2 + YAl → xNa2 + YLi, where ⃞ = vacancy. The crystal structure of rossmanite was refined to an R index of 1.7% using 1094 observed (5σ) reflections collected with MoKα X-radiation from a single crystal. The structure refinement confirmed the low occupancy of the X site and the presence of Li at the Y site. There is considerable positional disorder at the O1 and O2 sites induced by the local variations in bond-valence distribution associated with ⃞-Na disorder at X and Li-Al disorder at Y.
