Jasperoid veins hosted by granites.
Located N of Wadi Um Had.
Is oval shaped pink granite elongated in NW-SE direction with a length of 6.5 km and width of 2.5 km. The granite is dissected by dikes and veins of aplites, porphyries, pegmatite and jasper as well as few basaltic dikes. It is followed by the formation of pegmatites, aplites, quartz veins and jasperoid veins.
