Oksøyekollen apatittbrudd (Oksøykollen; Oksøiekollen; Oxøiekollen), Snarum, Modum kommune, Buskerud fylke, Norge

This locality is different from the other Snarum localities which are all in serpentinites.
Chlorapatite is reported from Snarum (in Mineralogical Reccord 8 (1977) 78-82); but only hydroxylapatite seems to occurs at this locality (see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-74851.html).

Note: Oxøiekollen is a spelling found on old labels.
