Hi
I asked Dr. Seppo Lahti about Viitaniemi red tourmalines. Seppo Lahti has written his doctoral dissertation on the pegmatites of Eräjärvi and he has collected at Viitaniemi more than fifty years.
http://tupa.gtk.fi/julkaisu/bulletin/bt_314.pdf He said there is no red tourmaline at Viitaniemi.
I have collected there since year 1985 and I have found almost all minerals that exist there, all the rare phosphates, except ernstite.
I have found about fourteen new minerals for Viitaniemi and some rare minerals with only microprobe-(WDS) confirmation, too small for XRD (wickmanite s.l. and possible nanpingite with Cs2O 15,5
w% as small spots on mica). I have never seen Viitaniemi red tourmaline but I have seen Haapaluoma red tourmaline at Viitaniemi, left there by some reckless collectors. This was too common those days 1980-1990.
Cheers
Ilkka
