Abstract/Notes52 old and new analyses of Norwegian tourmalines are presented. The occurrence of the rare tourmaline liddicoatite from Sandnessjøen is verified. The other light coloured tourmalines from the Li-rich granite pegmatites in Ågskaret, Sandnessøen and Stord are elbaite. With a few exceptions, brown and black tourmalines from metasediments are dravite, those from hydrothermal quartz veins are also dravite, while those from granites, granite pegmatites and syenite pegmatites are schörl.
