The salt dome near the village of Qalat-e-Payeen is situated 24 km NW of the harbor of Bandar Abbas. It was also known as Qalat-e Bala in Bosák et al. (1998). The highly deformed and concentrically structured plug, 4 km in diameter, is composed of numerous hills of light colored (whitish, yellowish, pink, greenish) rhyolite to rhyodacite with porphyritic texture, tuffs (ash, sandy and lapilli-bearing varieties) and ignimbrite. They are heavily altered and highly fractured and contain fluorapatite, fluorite, hematite, zunyite and cubes and pyritohedrons of limonite after pyrite. There are also green metamorphics with epidotized and hematitized fractures. Purple to brown shales to siltstones are only sometimes interbedded with sandstones. A few meters of light to dark gray carbonate beds (limestone, dolomitic limestone and dolostone) are also exposed.
