Tourmaline associated with sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, igneous intrusions and hydrothermal ore deposits is well known from many localities in the Damara Province (Haughton et al., 1939). This variety of tourmaline also includes minor occurrences within discordant veins, metamorphic replacement bodies, pegmatites, granites and breccia pipes. In contrast, conformable tourmaline-rich rocks in the Damara Province have only recently been described.
