A locality that was hyped in the Swedish collector community in the 1970s. It might also be known as the "Rotikenformation" (informal name). Whether the locality is the mountain "Rotikken" specifically, a bigger area that includes the mountain, or it's the outcrop "Rotiken" (spelled "Råehtehke" on maps) with similar geology by the settlement Gränssjö ~25km NW of Mt Rotikken, is uncertain for now (edit if you know more). The area features one of several known and studied occurrences of Serpentinite in Västerbotten.

The locality is set at Mt Rotikken for now and defined as the whole area.
