The "Filone dei Pastori" is characterized by a network of pegmatitic-aplitic veins crosscutting a granitic dike hosted in altered serpentinites. Such veins locally crosscut each other forming zoned pegmatitic pods with well developed aplitic "line rock" at thefoot wall and a miarolitic geochemically high evolved pegmatitic hanging wall. Yellow-green elbaite crystals characterized by large acicular black heads (schorl-foitite), pale blue to pale pink beryl, altered petalite and pollucite, Li-micas, etc. were recently found at this locality.
