Tourmaline can be found as an accessory mineral in a variety of rocks including leucogranite, pegmatite, quartz veins, and metamorphiccountry rocks in Hajiabad-Dehgah area in SE of Boroujerd city. Tourmaline in pegmatites is coarse-grained, subhedral to euhedral, anddisplays strong to moderate pleochroic blue rimmed by olive green. In contrast, tourmalines from leucogranite, quartz-veins, and h...

The study area is located in the western portion of Isfahan, in Shahrekord-Dehsard Terrene. This area is part of the Sanandaj- Sirjan structural Zone. In this area, metamorphosed igneous outcrops contain greenschist and metabasite rocks. These rocks have metamorphed into greenschist facies and belong to the Triassic-Jurassic age. The etabasite is mainly composed of plagioclase, amphibole, epido...

The aim of this study is prospecting of iron and manganese in the Balvard 1:100000 sheet which is situated in Sanandaj - Sirjan structural zone utilizing Index Overlay and Fuzzy Logic methods in the GIS. In this study, the layers for integration, alterations, geological, geophysical, geochemical and structural data based on stream sediments, airborne magnetometeric and remote sensing studies. B...

Marbles containing high-pressure mineral assemblage was found from the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt in the Nahavand area in western Iran.  The high-pressure marbles occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and show compositional banding of carbonate- and silicate- rich bands.  Textural analysis revealed two metamorphic stages.  The early stage is testified by relicts of ...

the dehno granite massive is located in the east dehno village and southern khomein city and within themetamorphic sanandaj–sirjan zone. the composition of these rocks include: granodiorite, quartzdiorite(tonalite), monzogranite and leucogranite. quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, biotite, andalusite, hornblendemuscovite, tourmaline, zircon and apatite are examples of the existing major and ...
