A Si-rich phlogopite lamproite dykes that outcrops in a road cutting outcrops at Blåmannvika. It is 0.3–0.4 m thick and can be traced westward towards Melketinden for a few hundred meters.
The dike is of an inferred Carboniferous age and is crossing a granite of 1792+/-5 Ma age (Zozulya et al. 2010).

The dike is 0.3–0.4 m thick, of a transitional type, and has an unusual Ti-Ba-P accessory mineralization (Zozulya et al. 2010). The rock consists of phenocrysts of light brown Mg-rich fluorotetraferriphlogopite, phlogopite, yangzhumingite and apatite in a fine-grained matrix dominated by K-feldspar, quartz and alkali amphiboles. 3 compositional groups of amphiboles, that include CNa-, Fe2+-, Fe3+- and O-rich "potassic-obertiite" (actually more likely "potassic-ferri-obertiite", fluoro-potassic-magnesio-arfvedsonite (analysis has been questioned) and 3) an alkali
amphibole showing an exceptionally high value of C (Schingaro et al. 2014).

ⓘ Aegirine

Description: Titanian
ⓘ 'Apatite'

ⓘ Baotite
Formula: Ba4(Ti,Nb,W)8O16(SiO3)4Cl
Habit: xenomorphic elongated and isometric grains 10-500 micron in size
Description: Occurs as isometric and elongated grains with deeply embayed boundaries.
ⓘ Baryte

ⓘ 'Chlorite Group'
ⓘ Fluorapatite
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F
ⓘ Fluorotetraferriphlogopite

Description: a Mg-rich
ⓘ 'K Feldspar'
ⓘ 'Monazite Group'
Formula: REE(PO4)
ⓘ Orthoclase
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Phlogopite
Formula: KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Colour: Light brown
Description: As phenocryst in the Kvaløya lamproite
ⓘ Potassic-magnesio-fluoro-arfvedsonite
Formula: [(K,Na)][Na2][Mg4Fe3+][Si8O22][(F,OH)2]
Description: Described in paper as fluoro-potassic-magnesio-arfvedsonite. Analyses provided by Kullerud (2014) corresponds to potassic-fluoro-arfvedsonite, but the analyses show high T content (7.99 to 8.36 apfu), low C content (4.24 to 4.95 apfu) and high A (1.06 to 1.22 apfu). According to Hawthorne et al. (1993) such results are indicative of "incomplete chemical analyses (specifically, no determination of Li and H2O) and incorrect assumptions in the renormalization procedure".
