The composition of tourmaline in Mangavi is Schorl and that of the Ganjnameh lies in the Schorl- foitite fields. The amounts of aluminum and X-vacancy in the Ganjnameh tourmalines are more than those of Mangavi. But commonly, the main substitution of both types of tourmaline is proton production and Al increase types that Al increase; X-vacancy and Fe reduce occurred. During these substitutions, olenite and foitite, Al-tourmaline and X-vacancy have been formed, respectively. The absence of dravite and the Fe # value over 0.8 in analyzed samples indicate that the tourmalines in pegmatites are related to magmatic types. In addition, the substitution of X-vacancy and Na+Al (olenite) type of tourmaline point to its magmatic nature and so, the required elements (i.e. boron, iron, sodium and aluminum) provided by magmatic fluids. The HREE amount of the Mangavi tourmalines due to accompanied garnet are very low but in the absence of garnet, the Ganjnameh tourmaline have high levels of these elements. Although tourmalines have the extensive substitutions but do not have a tendency to absorb all rare earth elements and the greatest impact on the control of these elements in tourmaline related to paragenesis minerals.

The area comprises of volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (Eocene) intruded by several intrusive rocks mainly as dioritic dykes and stocks. Mineralization as veins and filling the space, occurred in altered andesitic rocks. Supergene zone is characterized by azurite, malachite, linarite and iron oxides (hematite and limonite) whereas, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and magnetite are the main minerals of hypogene zone. And, quartz and calcite are main gangue. The area is dominated by four types of alteration including silicic, sericitic, propylitic, and argillic. Fluid inclusions study on quartz mineral sections polished reveals the presence of 1.0 to 5.6 percent salt and homogeneous temperature between 278 to 570 ° C. The high temperature with low salinity zone mineralization in this area is likely related to another generation of mineralization in the area. The results of fluid inclusions show that the mineralization is probably a mixture of magmatic fluid and atmospheric, although there is doubt. Several similar criteria including form of deposit, primary ore deposit, alteration facies, tectonic environment and magmatic series document that there should be a correlation between the origin of the studied mineralization area and that of the Mahour polymetal deposit.

Negative correlation of Al₂O₃, CaO, P₂O₅ and positive correlation of Rb and Th versus SiO₂ reveal the occurrence of fractional crystallization process. Also, the negative correlation of Sr versus Y, Sr/Zr versus Sr and CaO/Al₂O₃ versus SiO₂ show that fractionation of plagioclase has played an important role in petrogenesis of the spilli Suite. The hypotheses is supported by the negative anomalies of Eu, Ba and Sr. The overall geochemical evidences indicate that the basic rocks belong to intra-continental rift zone whereas the felsic rocks are classified as A1 type derived from parent basaltic magmas via fractional crystallization in an anorogenic setting.

The volcanic rocks belonging to Eocene age, are composed of pyroxene andesites, andesites, dacites and rhyolites. Porphyritic, glomeroporphyric, microlitic, and sieved textures are the most common textures of these rocks. Plagioclase, clinopyroxene and amphibole are the predominant minerals in the pyroxene andesites and andesites, whereas dacites and rhyolites are characterized by the presence of plagioclase, amphibole, quartz, biotite, and K-feldspar. Inequilibrium textures including embayed plagioclases and quartz with rounded margins, and oscillatory zoning in the plagioclases, sieved texture, and dusty rims are evidences of magma mixing. The enrichment in LREE and LILE and the HREE and HFSE depletion in the chondrite and primitive mantle normalized diagrams point to calc-alkaline nature of the rocks studied and they are related to volcanic arcs setting. High ratio of La/Nb (2-4.36) and negative Ti and Nb anomalies in spider diagrams can support crustal contamination hypotheses of these rocks. Also, low ratio of Nb/La (0.23-0.5) and high ratio of Sr/Ce (8.4-19) indicate contamination of parental magma with crustal materials.

Based on field observations as well as petrographic features, the lithologic composition of intrusion (Miocene age) ranges within the diorite-leucodiorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite, granodiorite and granite. In terms of geochemical characteristics, the rocks studied, are I-type, with calc-alkaline affinity and meta-aluminous character. Enrichment of LILE (K, U, Sr, Ce, Th, Pb, Ba) and LREE relative to HFSE (Zr, Y, Ti, P, Nb) and HREE, low Ce / Pb and Nb / U ratios and high Ba / Nb reveal that the rocks under study were originated in an active continental margin subduction-related tectonic setting.

Enrichment of LILE (K, U, Sr, Ce, Th, Pb, Ba) and LREE relative to HFSE (Zr, Y, Ti, P, Nb) and HREE, low Ce / Pb and Nb / U ratios and high Ba / Nb reveal that the rocks under study were originated in an active continental margin subduction-related tectonic setting. The negative anomalies of Ti, Nb and P on the spider diagram also confirm this fact. Low ratios of (Na₂O + K₂O / (FeO_t+ MgO + TiO₂) and (Al₂O₃ / FeO_t + MgO + TiO₂) along with low Rb/Sr concentration (< 0.6) propose that the Sarab-3 intrusive rock is derived from a meta-basaltic source. https://ijp.ui.ac.ir/article_21023_18584e26b93ec9a1bccbc1acb5e0ffb0.pdf

In terms of mineralogical features, the core of these two types tourmaline nodules is different. The Type 1 composed of small blue-green tourmaline, quartz, K-feldspar (microcline) and apatite while the Type 2 is characterized by tourmaline coarse crystals accompanied by quartz. Based on major and trace elements data the tourmalines under discussion are classified as alkaline, schorl (Type 1) and schorl-dravite (Type 2). The mean REE values displays a negative slope and a negative (Type 1) and positive (Type 2) Eu anomalies. The overall petrographic observations and geochemical results indicate that the Type 1 is likely influenced by two mechanisms of liquid immiscibility in the evolved melt followed by biotite breakdown in the final stages of tourmaline crystallization to complete consumption of B (closed system). For nodules, Type 2, breakdown of biotite in equilibrium with the external fluid (open system) is proposed.
