The Luobusha ophiolite is situated along the Luobusha fault zone, also known as Yarlung Zangbo (or, Brahmaputra) suture zone. It consists mainly of mantle peridotite and dunite, overlying a mΓ©lange zone composed of pillow lavas, gabbros, pyroxenites and cherts in a serpentinite matrix. To the south, it is separated from Triassic flysch by a steep reverse fault; to the north, it is thrust over the Tertiary Luobusha Formation and Gangdese granitic batholith.

The ophiolite extends 42 km in an east-west direction, a width of ~1–3 km as well as a geophysically constrained thickness of ~2–3 km and has an outcrop area of approximately 70 km2. Podiform chromitite ores, included in a dunite-harzburgite assemblage, occur discontinuously in a band in the upper mantle peridotites. These are, from east to west, the Kangjinla, Xiangkashan and Luobusha deposits. The chromitites display massive, disseminated, brecciated and nodular textures, and are believed to have formed by precipitation from boninitic melts interacting with the host peridotites. These chromitites have an unusual mineral assemblage, including ultra-high pressure (UHP) minerals such as diamond and moissanite (SiC), as well as a number of highly reduced phases such as graphite, native chromium, iron, nickel, gold, copper, and silicon identified by electron microprobe and X-ray diffraction studies. Some phases seem to have formed at the core/mantle boundary. Among the unusual phases found are alloys (Fe/Si-phases, Ni/Fe-phases, Fe/Cr-phases, Ir/Fe-phases, W/Co-phases, Cr/C-phases, Ti/N-phases, Si/Ca-phases, Si/C-phases, etc.), as well as numerous new oxides, sulphides and arsenides. Approximately, 5 million tons of chromite ore is estimated to be present in the entirety of the Luobusha ophiolite.

NOTE: "Luobusa" is a misnomer used in early publications on the ophiolite (see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-247373.html ). The Chinese name, η½—εΈƒθŽŽ, transliterates to "Luo-Bu-Sha".
