Bjässhöjden (Kämpetorp), Hjulsjö
The first (Palaeoproterozoic) magnesite deposit found in the Bergslagen area. Occurs in carbonates at the contact between metabasite (gabbro) and acid metavolcanics. The deposit, composed of 5–20 m thick horizons was formed by replacement of a carbonate precursor through hydrothermal alteration, induced by the emplacement of the gabbro intrusion.
Cordierite occurs in metasomatised felsic metavolcanic rock; hornblende and plagioclase at the contact to the metagabbro.
Irregularly shaped iron-oxide mineralizations occur at the contact metagabbro-metavolcanics and consist of massive, fine-grained magnetite with minor chalcopyrite and pyrite and occasional coarse-grained, dark green hornblende.
Situated in the eastern part of the Hjulsjö area between Vasselsjö and Salbosjön; SW of Kopparberg.
