Eklogittforekomst, Almenningen, Vågsøy, Kinn, Vestland, Norge
An unspecified roadcut (along RV 15 ?) close to the sea, with a large eclogite pod that was exposed during road construction at Almenningen, is described by Garmo (2013). Good, beautiful eclogite suitable for cutting and polishing has been sampled from the material that were blasted out during the road construction in the 1980s.
