A large peridotite massif (Almklovdalen peridotite massif) of alpine-type ultramafic body is present in Almklovdalen. It consists of hydrated equivalents of Mg-Cr-type garnet- and spinel-bearing peridotite.

A large open pit mine /quarry at Gusdalen, Gusdal Olivine Pit (sometimes referred to as Åheim Olivine Quarry) is working on the peridotite.
