Oftedahl (1947) found a red zeolite mineral in a gravel pit at Voksen, Oslo, Norway which he named apoanalcite (a synonyme of natrolite, essentialy a fibrous aggregate of natrolite). Later descredited by Oftedahl (1952) who found it to be a mixture of natrolite and a small amount of an undetermined pseudo-hexagonal mineral.
At an old map of 1937 at kart.1811.no features can be seen that might be a gravel pit:
