Landsverk, Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norge


Five of the Landsverk quarries are part of the Evje Mineralsti, and this is a fee-collecting site. By following a marked trail, it is possible to visit all of them. A booklet (36 pages) about the Evje Mineralsti, describing all the Landsverk quarries is available in 4 languages (UK, D, N, NL) by contacting Mr. Ronald Werner at ronald.werner("at")setesdalsmuseet.no.

Collecting is mainly meaningful in the Landsverk 1 quarry, by far the largest and most mineral-rich of these five. However, it is a very nice walk, and the harder working collector might get lucky in the Citrinbrudd quarry, where occasionally quartz crystals have been found.

The quarries of the Evje Mineralsti date back to the early beginning of mining in Evje, when in 1884 the smelter started to use quartz to extract the nickel from the ore from the Flåt nickel mines. In the early beginning of mining, all the quarries were exclusively operated for quartz. Due to the high cost of transportation, the mining of feldspar was not economic.

When in 1896 the Setesdalsbanen opened, the mining of feldspar became economic, and many new quarries were opened.

The coordinates are for the original Landsverk farm, though there is only a ruin left. However, when you visit the Evje Mineralsti, you might consider walking a little further and see what is left.

ⓘ Galena

ⓘ 'Garnet Group'
Formula: X3Z2(SiO4)3
ⓘ 'Gummite' ?
ⓘ Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
ⓘ Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
ⓘ 'K Feldspar'
ⓘ Laumontite ?
Formula: CaAl2Si4O12 · 4H2O
Description: Laumontite was reported in old literature (Schei 1905), but a modern confirmation is lacking. In the collection of the Evje og Hornnes geomuseum Fennefoss there is no laumontite. What actually has been found, also in recent times, are epimorphs/pseudomorphs of a mix of albite/microcline/chlorite after a mineral that by crystal shape actually might have been laumontite. The perimorphs/pseudomorphs form long prismatic "tubes", sometimes empty sometimes filled with the above-mentioned mix. The end termination is a single plane at an angle that corresponds pretty well with laumontite.
ⓘ 'Limonite' ?
ⓘ Magnetite
Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4
ⓘ Malachite
Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2
Colour: Green
Description: The Evje og Hornnes museum Fennefoss has two samples in the collection with what is almost beyond a shadow of doubt malachite. I cannot think of any other mineral it could be.
ⓘ Microcline
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Microcline var. Amazonite
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
Description: Amazonite from the Landsverk 1 is probably the best found in Norway. The colour can be very intense green, and large pieces are used for cutting cabochons. In the past many tons of cutting-grade have been mined. A lot of the material was exported to the gemstone industry in Idar-Oberstein, Germany.
ⓘ 'Microlite Group'
Formula: A2-mTa2X6-wZ-n
ⓘ Molybdenite
Formula: MoS2
ⓘ Monazite-(Ce)
Formula: Ce(PO4)
Description: The Landsverk 1 quarry has yielded several specimens with intriguing monazite-(Ce)crystals like this one: https://www.mindat.org/photo-21294.html Originally, the monazite was partly/completely hidden under chloritized biotite, which had to be removed.
ⓘ 'Monazite Group'
Formula: REE(PO4)
ⓘ Montmorillonite
Formula: (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2 · nH2O
ⓘ Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Opal
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O
ⓘ Opal var. Hyalite
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O
ⓘ 'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Description: Pyrite occurs predominantly as cubes in the Landsverk 1 quarry. Considerable amounts have been found in a chloritized zone not far into the quarry in the north wall. However, nowadays it is getting increasingly harder to get out good crystals, if at all. It might very well be the case that this zone is depleted. Elsewhere in the quarry, pyrite is rare. An attractive rarity are pyrite crystals perched on crusts of tiny microcline crystals, sometimes forming a geode.
ⓘ 'Pyrochlore Supergroup'
Formula: A2-mD2X6-wZ1-n
ⓘ 'Pyrochlore Supergroup var. Betafite (of Hogarth 1977)'
Formula: (Ca,Na,U)2(Ti, Nb,Ta)2O6Z(OH)
ⓘ Pyrophanite
Formula: Mn2+TiO3
ⓘ Pyrrhotite ?
Formula: Fe1-xS
Description: has been found in other pegmatites in the Evje-Iveland pegmatite field, but it has been said that it is more likely in the case of Landsverk 1, that it was ore from the Flåt nickel mine, that fell off the cableway while being transported to the smelter in Evje (Ronald Werner commentary 11.01.2018)
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.
Description: Quartz forms beautiful crystals and groups of crystals in the Landsverk 1 quarry, with unusual growth phenomena. -Combinations with stilpnomelane and/or chlorite -Gemstone quality rock crystal, citrine and smoky quartz -Multiple zonated crystals -Crystals with one or more generations overgrowing a primary crystal covered by stilpnomelane/chlorite During its lifespan the Landsverk 1 quarry has produced huge amounts of quartz crystals, and has great potential for future finds. The combination with stilpnomelane seems to be rare worldwide as judging from Mindat, and the quality from Landsverk 1 is superior as compared with that of other localities.

ⓘ Thortveitite
Formula: Sc2Si2O7
Description: In the summer of 1903 P. Schei found a mineral he could not identify in this quarry, and on the label he wrote "Epidote". Later, samples of an unknown mineral from were shown to feldspar dealer Olaus Thortveit, who subsequently sent them in 1910 to Oslo. It was described in 1911 by Schetelig and named after Olaus Thortveit. Local collector and miner Theodor Gautestad found many kilos of thortveitite in this quarry, among which possibly the best single crystal in existance: https://www.mindat.org/photo-662863.html This specimen is at display in the l'Ecole des Mines in Paris, France. Much of the thortveitite Gautestad found, was sold to the duPont company in the USA for research purposes.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Neoproterozoic : 904.2 ± 0.3 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
