Paraibaite	Paraibait ist eine blaue kupferhaltige Varietät des Elbait-Turmalins.
Rubellite	Rubellit ist ein rosa bis rot gefärbter Elbait, der in Hohlräumen und Drusen von Pegmatiten auftritt (Edelstein-Varietät)
Tsilaisite (Elbaite)	Tsilaisit = Mn-haltiger Elbait
Verdelite	Verdelith ist ein grün gefärbter Elbait (Edelstein-Varietät)
