Abstract
In the present study shows a systematical review of the main research works on the subject of tourmaline worldwide and its metallogenic implications as possible indicator of certain mineral deposits. The following results were obtained: The knowledge about the Tourmaline Supergroup has envolved throughout history, observing an important advance in the 20th century, particullary after 1997. The emergence of novel analytical techniques in the field of mineralogy and geochemistry has allowed to deepen in the crystallochemical aspects of tourmaline and its relationship with the genesis of certain mineral deposits. In Cuba, studies on tourmaline with a metallogenic approach are incipient. The studies on tourmalines realizated in different parts of the world allow them to be considered as robust indicators of porphyry deposits Cu, Au, W-Mo and Sn, VMS and many of the SEDEX systems.
