Granite quarries on Mt. Idda, which represents the most extended batholith of Northern Sarrabus. Actually, it represents a so called "Inselberg" (island mountain) due to erosive processes which have disclosed the most ancient nucleus of relief, made of leucogranites. These batholiths set in place during Hercynian orogenesis as end of magmatic events. These leucogranites are rich in quartz, K-feldspars and plagioclases, and very poor in biotite or other Fe-Mg minerals. They are crossed by pegmatitic veins, rich in crystallized minerals, even if other minerals can be found in miarolitic cavities of pink K-feldspar.
