The geophysical data processing (airborne gamma ray spectrometry) supplied the results in granites affected for the hidrotermal alteration in the Santa Catarina Fluorine District. The facies zonation in granites is associated to the granitic magmatism suggesting the rock fluor source. This lead to understanding the regional distribution of the fluorine deposits and defined new criteria for the prospecting of fluorine, space relations for the mineralization and the rock fluor source. This study shows that this source is situated in external portions of the Pedras Grandes Massif.
