The locality named Gamlegrendåsen refers to at last two different finds:
1. A small outcrop close to a small lake at Gamlegrendåsen found by Sigurd Stordal. A minor find of harmotome was done (Sigurd Stordal information)
2. In 2015-2016, a cavity, 30 x 25 x 20 cm large, with brewsterite-Ba and harmotome was found by the Norwegian collector Henrik Sundland. The cavity occured in a hydrotermal quartz vein in gneiss (Larsen 2017, Nordrum & Sundland 2017).
Both finds are connected to the construction of a new residental site at Gamlegrendåsen. The coordinates are generic for the residental site.
A third find of zeolites in the same area, at Hans Brattebergs vei is discussed in Larsen & Sundland (2015).
