Minerals are found in two different formation environments: rodingite dykes and Alpine metamorphic veins in serpentinite.

Rodingite dykes occur in the Malpass (formerly also Malpasso and Mulaplas) area. The most important dyke, which crops out in the wood not far from the village of Malpass superiore, is characterized by the presence of vesuvianite crystals, varying in colour from light yellow, to brown and green, and by the unusual abundance of zirconium minerals (common zircon and rare baddeleyite).

Alpine metamorphic veins in serpentinite are characterized by the presence of fibrous silicates (antigorite, carlosturanite, chrysotile, and diopside) and an array of Mg carbonates. The most known localities for these minerals are Malpass inferiore, Protera, and the dump of the Fubina aqueduct works near the bridge on Stura di ViΓΉ stream.

Furthermore, an occurrence of talc, chrysotile, albite, and pyrrhotite at Malpass was recorded by Jervis (1873).
