Apatittdrusa, Lier, Viken, Norge
The biotite granite (Drammens granite) in the Oslo Rift locally contains miarolitic cavities.
A spectacular find of one large cavity about 10 m in depth and 2 in width was discovered in May 1999 (Hurum 1999) "near Lier" about 40 km west of the capital Oslo and 10 km east of Drammen, along a forest road.
The minerals listed here are from that find.
