The Dorojin granitoid at the northeastern Isfahan is located in the central Urumieh-Dokhtar zone and within the volcano-sedimentary complex. The Dorojin iron deposit is the one of the several ore deposits that Dorojin granitoid body is caused in its surrounding rocks. According to microscopic evidences, mineral assemblage of wollastonite, garnet, pyroxene (diopside), amphibole, epidote, feldspar, calcite and quartz, Dorojin deposit attributed to the class of calcic skarns that occur during two stages progressive and regressive. Based on electron microprobe analysis, some garnets are andradite (An92-97Gr1-5) in core and andradite-grossular (An53-66Gr30-41Sp2-4) in rim. In the beginning, andradite fluid inclusions with temperature range from 369˚ to 444˚C and salinity range from 11.22 to 12.96 wt.% NaCl eqv., originate from magmatic fluids, while with change in the acidity condition of environment and the opening of system, grandite, epidote and calcite fluids with a temperature between 221˚ and 305˚C and salinity between 0.4 and 10.11 wt.% NaCl eqv., are dominated by mixing and dilution of early magmatic fluids with meteorite waters. Sr isotopic ratio of garnet vary between 0.70760 and 0.70805, suggesting that prominent role of the magmatic fluids for the formation of andraditic garnet.
