Magnesite/serpentine deposit.
Worked for serpentine by Nord Overn serpentinverk owned by Kaare Overn from 1934-1942. The serpentine was used for the production of roofing felts.
In the 1970s the quarry was leased by Mr. Walter Lie (1923-1982), who extracted serpentine for decorative stones, to be used in tables and other items.
During a period of about ten years, from 1983 onwards, the quarry was leased by Mr. John Brommeland.

Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Althausite (TL) Formula: Mg4(PO4)2(OH,O)(F,◻) Type Locality: Colour: light grey Description: As cleavable masses in phospate nodules in serpentine |
| ⓘ Anthophyllite Formula: ◻{Mg2}{Mg5}(Si8O22)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ 'Apatite' Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(Cl/F/OH) Description: Raade & Mladeck (1979) mention two kinds of coexsiting apatites at Tingelstadtjern; one being dominated by Cl, and the other by (OH,F). |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 References: |
| ⓘ Chlorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3Cl Description: Described by Raade & Mladeck (1979) as a apatite dominated by Cl; later by Raade, Mladeck & Din as Cl- bearing apatite |
| ⓘ Chrysotile Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 References: |
| ⓘ Clinochlore Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8 References: |
| ⓘ Clinochlore var. Leuchtenbergite Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8 References: |
| ⓘ Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 References: |
| ⓘ Formula: Mg2Si2O6 Description: A citation error by Neumann (1985) of information given by Raade & Mladeck (1979). They mention in their article enstatite as an accessory mineral to althausite from a second locality (=Overntjern), also not from Tinglestadtjern. |
| ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 References: |
| ✪ Heneuite (TL) Formula: CaMg5(CO3)(PO4)3(OH) Type Locality: Habit: nodular masses several cm across Colour: pale bluegreen Description: often surrounded by a rim of althausite which is surrounded by apatite References: |
| ⓘ Holtedahlite (TL) Formula: Mg2(PO4)(OH) Type Locality: Habit: irregular patches ; masses Colour: colourless Description: glassy. |
| ⓘ Hydromagnesite Formula: Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2 · 4H2O Description: Occure as white thin crusts on serpentine. References: |
| ⓘ Hydroxylapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(OH) |
| ⓘ Lizardite Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 References: |
| ⓘ Magnesite Formula: MgCO3 |
| ⓘ Magnetite Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4 Habit: as microscopic inclusions in althausite and holtedahlite |
| ⓘ Phosphoellenbergerite Formula: (Mg,◻)2Mg12(PO4,PO3OH)6(PO3OH,CO3)2(OH)6 |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 References: |
| ⓘ Raadeite (TL) Formula: Mg7(PO4)2(OH)8 Type Locality: Habit: veinlets, a few tens of µm wide Colour: transparent and colourless Description: It occurs as veinlets, a few tens of µm wide, crosscutting althausite crystals; also as rare, up to 150 µm large anhedral inclusions in holtedahlite; and with apatite, althausite and magnesite in fibrous coronae replacing heneuite (Chopin et al. 2001)
The very low analytical total suggests H2O and/or CO2 are present. Valid unnamed minerasl list, update 2009-02 |
| ⓘ 'Serpentine Subgroup' Formula: D3[Si2O5](OH)4 |
| ⓘ Szaibélyite Formula: MgBO2(OH) Description: At this locality szaibelyite occure in thin veins cutting althausite. |
| ⓘ Talc Formula: Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Xenotime-(Y) Formula: Y(PO4) Habit: euhedral crystals up to 1 mm Colour: brownish Description: embedded in althausite |
