Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Albite var. Cleavelandite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ 'Almandine-Spessartine Series'
ⓘ Beryl
Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18)
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
ⓘ Churchite-(Y)
Formula: Y(PO4) · 2H2O
Description: Bjørlykke/Hysingjord describe churchite-(Y) from "the Microlite-quarry", Landås. The mineral occures as a white crust on topaz.
ⓘ Columbite-(Fe)
Formula: Fe2+Nb2O6
ⓘ Columbite-(Mn)
Formula: Mn2+Nb2O6
ⓘ 'Euxenite Group'
ⓘ Euxenite-(Y)
Formula: (Y,Ca,Ce,U,Th)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2O6
ⓘ Hydroxycalciomicrolite ?
Formula: Ca1.5Ta2O6(OH)
Description: Hydroxycalciomicrolite was entered by Van King in 04-02-2014, based on the study by Hogarth (1961) and a chemical anlysis first published in Bjørlykke (1933) (Bjørlykke paper is not listed among the referenmces in in Hogarth 1961). However, a chemical analysis alone is not enough to identify this as a hydoxylcalciomicrolite, a structural analysis is also needed (cf. Atencio et al., 2010, on the nomenclature on the Pyrochlore supergroup). Knut Edvard larsen comment 03.2022.
