## Gemology

* The most common species of tourmaline is **schorl**,
* The sodium iron (divalent) endmember of the group.
* It may account for 95% or more of all tourmaline in nature.
* The early history of the mineral schorl shows that the name "schorl" was in use prior to 1400 because a village known today as Zschorlau (in Saxony, Germany) was then named "Schorl" (or minor variants of this name).
	+ This village had a nearby tin mine where, in addition to cassiterite, black tourmaline was found.

* The first description of schorl with the name "schürl" and its occurrence (various tin mines in the Saxony Ore Mountains) was written by Johannes Mathesius (1504–1565) in 1562 under the title "Sarepta oder Bergpostill".
* Up to about 1600, additional names used in the German language were "Schurel", "Schörle", and "Schurl".
* Beginning in the 18th century, the name *Schörl* was mainly used in the German-speaking area. In English, the names *shorl* and *shirl* were used in the 18th century. In the 19th century the names *common schorl*, *schörl*, *schorl* and *iron tourmaline* were the English words used for this mineral.
