"The ore is found in relatively small lenses within serpentinites in the Vermion region of northern Greece, 50 km west of Thessaloniki".
Upper JurassicโLower Cretaceous in age, is mainly composed of mantle peridotites consisting of harzburgite, dunite, and orthopyroxene-bearing
dunite, and, to a lesser extent, of crustal magmatic rocks (pyroxenites and gabbros) outcropping along the eastern margin of the so called Pelagonian massif. Small (1 m ร 15 m) lens-like of redeposited FeโNi occurrences, metamorphosed to amphibolite facies are found in the Vermion ophiolite, which are overlain by Cretaceous limestones.
