2 valid minerals.

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Hydrohalite
Formula: NaCl · 2H2O
Description: Konnerup-Madsen (1979) describes liquid inclusions in quartz in the Farsund granite. Hydrohalite occurs as a phase in the liquid inclusions below - 7 C degrees, and dissociate again at - 7 to 0,8 degrees C. Hydrohalite, will thus (theoretically) occure naturallly in the upper parts of the granite during cold winter months.
ⓘ Sylvite
Formula: KCl
Description: Konnerup-Madsen (1979) describes sylvite in liquid inclusions in quartz in granites of the Farsund plutonic complex.
