Mineralization occurs in the contact zone between a carbonate rock and a hydrothermal quartz body. Possible originally worked for quartz ?

The map of Touret (1968) suggests that the locality is located north of the lake.

There is actually a quarry visible at the altitude map, but that is a post-1969 locality, suggesting that it is a feldspar quarry.

On modern maps the name is spelled "Selåsvann", but many write it as "Selåsvatn".

The coordinates are therefor given for the lake.
