The Ruby Range can be divided into three roughly parallel northeast trending belts. The eastern belt is predominantly gneisses and schists. The central belt consists of quartzo-feldspathic gneiss. Both of these belts are the basement for the western belt with metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks.

The crystalline basement rocks were deformed and metamorphosed to upper amphibolite-facies conditions probably at one or more times including 3300, 2700, 2400, or 1800 Ma. Peak conditions were probably at amphibolite to granulite facies at around 2750 Ma and a greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism at 1800 Ma probably is related to exhumation cooling.

Small ultramafic rocks occur in many localities throughout the Ruby Range complex. Typically, the ultramafic rocks are elongate, elliptical bodies which tend to parallel the regional foliation and range in size from a few meters to hundreds of meters in length. They were emplaced early and saw the peak metamorphic event at 2750 Ma as well as the retrograde alteration at 1800 Ma. Mineral assemblages (magnesio-hornblende, orthopyroxene, olivine, green spinel, Β± titanian hydroxylclinohumite) and associated rock types (meta-rodingites) indicate the bodies were serpentinized prior to metamorphism. During the retrograde event at 1800 Ma, re-serpentinization of the ultramafic bodies took place.

Formula: Mg9(SiO4)4F2
Description: The hydroxylclinohumite is restricted to rocks that show relatively little retrograde alteration. It occurs in rocks mainly consisting of stubby pyroxene crystals cut by veinlets of green serpentine, and lesser amounts of anthophyllite, actinolite, chlorite, phlogopite, magnetite and antigorite. Titanian hydroxylclinohumite occurs as scattered, irregular to rounded grains and grain clusters up to 5 cm across.
