This series of references related to tourmaline is meant to be a relatively comprehensive list that can be used by anyone interested in the subject. However, there are certainly many more references of which I am currently unaware. I would welcome input from the users of the list either in terms of additional references or corrections to the list. Any inquiries can be e-mailed to Darrell Henry at dhenry@geol.lsu.edu

The references are broadly broken into a series of general topics. There is a link to the appropriate webpage in each of these topics. Many of the references are found in several categories. In most articles tourmaline is the main topic of the paper, but in other cases information on tourmaline may play a very minor role in the article.
