Name(s) in local language(s):
Smältarmossen (Smältarmossgruvan)
Calcic iron skarn deposit/mine located E of Garpenberg village.
Magnetite was mined from a ca. 50-m-thick calcic skarn zone at the contact between rhyolite and stratigraphically overlying limestone.
The former mine is inaccessible and surface exposure is minimal.
