Citrin-drusa, Sætre, Hurum, Asker, Viken, Norge
A miarolitic cavity in permian Drammensgranite (biotite granite) located in the forest area east of Skoklevanna.
The pocket, which measured 40 x 50 cm and 2 m deep, was discovered in may 1999, and a large number of quartz crystals with a smoky quartz phantom "core" and a thicker "coat" of citrine were collected. The crystals measured from 2 to 5 cm long, but one large as 25 cm long was reported (Nordrum & Larsen 1999).
The citrine pocket which produced many specimens is now empty.
