From single grain, full geological past its host rock can be reconstructed, including pressure–temperature path it has taken through changing fluid compositions encountered. able provide record owing compositional textural sensitivity environment in which grows, preserve because element diffusion structure negligible. Furthermore, tourmaline an exceptionally broad stability range, allowing conditions igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, hydrothermal settings. As our mineralogical geochemical tools advance, we are interrogate tourmaline's memory with increasing precision, making truly powerful indicator Earth.
