Hagen, Göteborg kommun, Västergötland, Sverige


Small pegmatite, 3x0.25 meter carrying kyanite.

The description puts it 700 meter SSE of the Hagen chapel (current name Älvsborg church). That puts it just north of the Västerleden tunnel entry at the Hagen interchange (Hagenmotet).

The article in the reference describes blue-green crystals of kyanite of up to 15x3x1 cm in size sitting in quartz.

The marked location is only approximately, based on the description in the cited article. The pegmatite should be located within 100 meters though.
