Alvand plutonic body is one of the largest intrusive plutons in northern part of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone which is located in south of Hamadan city. It is composed of porphyroid and leucocratic granitoids, basic intrusive rocks, and abundant enclaves in various sizes and in a variety of forms. Biotites of porphyroid monzogranite, diorite, felsic microgranular enclave, mafic microgranular enclave and surmicaceous enclaves are located in magnesian biotites and biotites of norites in phlogopite field. Orthopyroxenes of norite are clinoenstatite and orthopyroxenes of mafic microgranular enclaves are clinofrosilite. Based on the Ti-in-biotite thermometer, temperature of monzogranite porphyroid is 662 to 734 oC, norite is 688 to 776 oC, diorite is 598 to 724 oC, surmicaceous enclaves temperature is 662 to 687 oC, felsic microgranular enclaves is 694 to 712 oC and mafic microgranolar enclaves is 635 to 737 oC. the enclaves of the Alvand plutonic body and their host rocks are located in the field of calc-alkaline suite. Orthopyroxenes in the norite and mafic microgranular enclaves indicate that rocks of the Alvand intrusive complex are located in the field of high oxygen fugacity rocks. It is in accordance with calc-alkaline property of rocks and is consistent with the subduction-related tectono-magmatic environment.

The fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist and staurolite garnet mica schist cropped out around the northwest of Khalaj, south of Mashhad in a SE_NW direction along the metamorphic complex of Kuh-e-Majuni. They have similar mineralogy and consist of quartz, annite, staurolite, almandine, muscovite, zircon, and ilmenite; however, fibrolite in fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist, and chlorite and tourmaline in the staurolite garnet mica schist are additionally found. Application of garnet - biotite thermometry and GBMAQ barometry indicates the temperatures and pressures of 560 and 605 °C / 3.5 and 5 kilobar for fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist and temperatures of 489 and 547 °C (in 3.5 to 5 kilobar) for the staurolite garnet mica schist. Pressure and temperature increasing during the garnet growth indicates the effect of regional and contact thermal metamorphism on these rocks. Based on mineral paragenesis in KFMASH system, the metamorphic degree of regional metamorphism was about lower amphibolite (in staurolite garnet mica schist) to middle amphibolite facies (in fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist). Meanwhile, intrusion of the Khalaj granitoid and its thermal diffusion raised the metamorphic temperature up to lower amphibolite facies (in staurolite garnet mica schist) and middle amphibolite facies (in fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist), and consequently, this caused the fibrolite formation in the sample close to the pluton (i.e. fibrolite garnet staurolite mica schist).
