An open pit mine quarried for feldspar and quartz in a granite-pegmatite body. It was worked from 1881 to 1986.
Known for its large, up to 1 m large euhedral to subhedral apatite crystals. Located 1.5 km east of the Lyngrot Farm.
NGU MALDATABASE - ForekomstomrΓ₯de 919β027:
"The deposit is situated 0.5 km south of Lake SelestΓΈlvann. It is a well-developed and regular zoned pegmatite with a quartz core. The zoning in the pegmatite is divided into 5 zones + a quartz core. The most important characteristics of the zoning can be summarised as follows:
Zone 1: quartz with biotite ad microcline.
Zone 2 : monomineralic plagioclase.
Zone 3: thin zone with occurrence of rare minerals like allanite, euxenite and apatite.
Zone 4: graphic feldspar.
Zone 5: graphic feldspar with myrmecite.
R. Γ mli gives a detailed description of this pegmatite and its mineralogy and zoning, and the REE content of apatite and xenotime from the deposits. The pegmatite is today known to be the locality for the world's largest allanite crystals and is suitable for the extraction of allanite for rare earth separation research. It is one of the deposits investigated as part of the Eurare project." (slightly edited by Ronald Werner 2018)
