✪ Ertlite
Formula: NaAl3Al6(Si4B2O18)(BO3)3(OH)3O
Colour: colorless, pale geen, pale blue
Description: The colorless, pale green or pale blue tourmaline samples were originally described as "boron-rich olenite". New investigations have shown that these samples have a dominant ertlite component and can therefore be referred to as ertlite.
ⓘ Fersmite
Formula: CaNb2O6
ⓘ 'Garnet Group'

ⓘ Olenite
Formula: NaAl3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3O3(OH)
Fluorescence: Yellow luminescence
Description: Contains excess boron. Since the aluminum-, boron- and Na-rich tourmaline has been given its own mineral name recently, new investigations have shown that the colorless, pale green, or pale blue tourmaline from the Stoffütte pegmatite, Koralpe, previously described as "boron-rich olenite", was now identified as ertlite.
