73. What is Tourmaline? Kind of pegmatite. Hardness of 7. Opaque black is most common

74. When is there the finest color of Beryl? When some elements do not substitute into crystal structure

75. Where does Tourmaline come from? Brazil, Madagascar, Afghanistan, USA

76. Which common mineral grouping does pyroxene spodumene belong to?

77. Which gem changes colour when viewed alexandrite under different forms of lighting?

78. Why are Aquamarines less rare than B/C chromophore, Iron, is more common Emeralds?

79. Why is pegmatite genesis rare? Require geological environment with lots of granitic rocks. Pegmatites need to be in tectonic environment allowing them to be brought upwards into the crust Slow and steady erosion is required
