In the Pelion region, the antimony hosting formations are Permian–early Jurassic ortho- and para-metamorphic rocks consisting of schist, schist–gneiss, quartzite, and phyllite, intercalated by marble. Additionally, volcanic rocks, i.e., mainly diorite or diabase dykes, occur in the area. According to Tataris the diorite exhibits a holocrystalline granitoid porphyritic texture. The age of the volcanic rocks was determined to be Pliocene (5.2 ± 0.7 to 3.9 ± 0.2 Ma by Ar/Ar dating). The Late Cenozoic tectonic history of Thessaly has been described by Caputo and Pavlides who documented three phases: (i) a late-orogenic compressional phase (roughly E-W oriented σ1 axis) during the early middle Miocene period, which reactivated the older NW-SE-oriented Alpine thrusts; (ii) a Pliocene—early Pleistocene extensional phase (ca. NE-SW oriented σ3 axis, as in the northern mainland
Greece and Aegean Sea), which formed most of the marginal NW-SE-striking normal faults quasi-parallel to the older thrusts; and (iii) a middle Pleistocene–present extensional phase (ca. N-S oriented σ3 axis) which formed the roughly E-W-striking normal faults whose morphological expression overprints the NW-SE structures.
