Oksøyekollen apatittbrudd, Snarum, Modum, Buskerud, Norge


This locality is different from the other Snarum localities, which are all in serpentinites.
Chlorapatite is reported from Snarum (in Mineralogical Record (1977) 8, 78-82), but only hydroxylapatite seems to occur at this locality (see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-74851.html).

Note: Oxøiekollen is a spelling found on old labels.

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ 'Calcium Amphibole Subgroup'

ⓘ 'Calcium Amphibole Subgroup var. Hornblende'
Formula: AnCa2(Z2+5-mZ3+m)(Si8-(n+m)Al(n+m))(OH,F,Cl)2
Description: The amphibole at the locality has been refered to as "hornblende"(sensu lato) in litterature of the late 19th century. At the time the usage of the term was more broad than it became later. Samples of amphiboles from this locality was and stillare labelled as "hornblende"(f.ex. Berg 1986) An XRD of a typical sample showed it to be actinolite.
ⓘ Cheralite ?
Formula: CaTh(PO4)2
Description: Described as "very tiny brownish crystals on hydroxylapatite" (Nordrum 2010).
Most probably a misidentification = monazite-(Ce) ??
✪ Hydroxylapatite
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(OH)
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
ⓘ 'Mica Group'
ⓘ Monazite-(Ce)
Formula: Ce(PO4)
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
