Iveland, Aust-Agder, Norway

Iveland kommune, Aust-Agder fylke, Norge

Evje and Iveland area is famous for its pegmatite minerals. In old references and labels this area has also been refered to as Setesdalen (Setesdal), which is the valley along the river Otra. Evje & Hornes and Iveland municipalities are the 2 southernmost municipalities (of totalt 5) in this valley.

The pegmatites are enriched in REE and have originated at ca. 600°C (Müller et al., 2009).

Note to the mineral list:
- The monazites found in the Iveland area are most probably monazite-(Ce), but not all localities (monazites) has yet been analyzed. (Selbekk et al. 2009)
