The chromite deposits of Aland (Barajok and Kochak villages) and Gheshlagh area in the Khoy ophiolite occur as layered, lenticular or irregular masses, surrounded by dunitie and harzburgites. These chromites are compositionally similar to alpine-type chromites, characterized by nodular, massive, disseminated and banded textures. EMPA data show that they vary widely in term of Cr-number [100Cr/C...
