Name:
Named for Uva Province, Sri Lanka, the first reported occurrence.
Originally redefined in 2010 by IMA, as a part of a nomenclature revision of the Tourmaline group. The approval was subsequently withdrawn by IMA in 2018 (IMA 2000-030a), since analytical work showed the type material to be a potentially new oxy-tourmaline.
Finally approved, with a different type locality (Elba, Italy) in 2020.

Finally approved, with a different type locality (Elba, Italy) in 2020.
Notes:
â The official IMA name for this mineral species was uvite, redefined as part of a nomenclature revision of the tourmaline group (Henry et al., 2011). However, the approval was withdrawn by IMA in 2018 (IMA 2000-030a), since analysis showed that the type material may be a potentially new oxy-tourmaline. Uvite was finally approved in 2020 (IMA 2019-113), with the type locality on Elba, Italy.
â Most specimens historically designated as uvite are actually, as analyses have shown, the F-dominant end member, i.e., fluor-uvite, which is much more common than uvite.
â Without analysis, a 'uvite' specimen should be added as Fluor-uvite-Uvite Series.
Forms a series with feruvite.
Note that although Brumado, Brazil, was once (Henry et al., 2011) defined the type locality for uvite, it is not possible to assign "uvites" from Brumado to this species without a reliable analysis, as specimens have been analysed with both OH- and F-dominant compositions.
Relation of uvite to fluor-uvite: W(OH)â <-> WFâ.
Relation of uvite to feruvite: YMg2+ <-> YFe2+.
The holotype uvite originated from interaction of B-rich fluids released within the crystallization of LCT pegmatites and surrounding metaserpentinites.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.
Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 ”m thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.
Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised
light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive
index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral
colouration.
In focus
Interference Figure:
This shows the idealized uniaxial interference figure - the conoscopic
(convergent-light, Bertrand-lens-in) view, for a grain cut with the optic axis
centred and vertical. The coloured rings are isochromatics, computed with the
same physics as the Michel-Lévy bar above; the dark cross is the isogyre.
For a genuinely uniaxial mineral viewed this way, that cross stays perfectly stationary if you rotate the stage - unlike a biaxial mineral, where it splits apart on rotation. That invariance is itself the standard diagnostic test for telling uniaxial and biaxial minerals apart at the microscope.
