Vesle Arøya, Langesundsfjorden, Larvik, Vestfold, Norway

Minerals occur in nephelin-syenite pegmatites.

NOTE: This island has unfortunately been mistaken to be the same as Lille Arøy; Brøgger used the name "Klein-Arö" ('Little Arö'); this has then later been wrongly translated to Lille Arøy in Norwegian.
