Abstract

The Li and B isotopic compositions of gem-quality Cu-bearing tourmalines were used (1) to distinguish among Paraiba tourmalines from Brazil and Cu-bearing tourmalines from Nigeria and Mozambique; and (2) to identify the likely source of Li and B for these gem-quality tourmalines. The δ11B values of tourmaline from Paraiba, Brazil, range from –42.4‰ to –32.9‰, whereas the δ11B values of Cu-bearing tourmaline from Nigeria and Mozambique range from –30.5‰ to –22.7‰ and –20.8‰ to –19.1‰ respectively. Tourmalines from each locality have relatively homogeneous δ11B values and display no overlap. There is slight overlap between δ7Li values of Paraiba tourmaline (+24.5‰ to +32.9‰) and Cu-bearing tourmaline from Nigeria (+32.4‰ to +35.4‰), and δ7Li values of Cu-bearing tourmaline from Nigeria and Mozambique (+31.5‰ to +46.8‰). Nevertheless, Cu-bearing tourmalines from each locality can be fingerprinted using a combination of their δ11B and δ7Li values. The very small δ11B values are consistent with a non-marine evaporite source, and are among the smallest reported for magmatic systems, expanding the global range of B isotopicc omposition for tourmaline by 12‰. The corresponding large δ7Li values are among the largest reported, although they are less diagnostic of the source of the Li. The large δ7Li values in conjunction with the small δ11B values suggest a non-marine evaporite or brine as a source for Li and B, either as constituent(s) of the magma source region or, by assimilation during magma ascent. The large range in δ11B and δ7Li values suggests that B and Li isotope fractionation occurred during magmatic degassing and late-stage magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of the granite-pegmatite system.
