The Nyköpingsgruvan pegmatites are located on the northern part of Utoe Island, Sweden, and consist of two pegmatite bodies that transect the Nykoepingsgruvan iron formation. During crystallization, tourmaline composition evolves from Al-rich schorl through elbaite and phases intermediate between elbaite and rossmanite to Ca-bearing elbaite-rossmanite and finally to Ca-bearing elbaite.

Composition - Uto

X-site composition of rossmanite from Utö, Sweden, as reported by Selway et al, 2002.
