Strömshultsgruvorna
The term "Eulysite" was introduced by A. Erdmann (1848) for rocks containing pyroxene,garnet and olivine. Palmgren showed that these rocks basically are the same skarn as the Mn-rich iron ores in middle of Sweden with two differences; much lower grades of magnetite and secondly higher metamorphic level.
The typical ores of this type mined held 6-12%Mn and 24-33%Fe.
