Based on the field observations host rock of tourmaline nodules in the Dehgah and Sarsakhti area are acidic dikes (Aplite) and monzogranite respectively. In these areas, nodules composed of tourmaline, quartz, alkali-feldspar, but leuco minerals component in Dehgah nodule are less than Sarsakhti area. The negative anomaly of Eu, enrichment in the light REE (LREE), decrease of HREE, and  fractio...

Microstructural and petrographical features as well as field relations, show that formation of the metapelitic rocks of Bolandparchin and Poshtuk in northwestern Iran was poly-metamorphic. Mineral assemblages in the metapelites of two areas are different. The Bolandparchin schists are graphite-rich and have dark color. Peak metamorphic assemblage is garnet, biotite, staurolite, aluminosilicate ...
