Locality type:Prospect
Classification
Species:Anthophyllite
Formula:◻Mg2Mg5(Si8O22)(OH)2
Comments:Analysis of one sample of anthophyllite (the brownish orthoamphibole mineral) from Kjennerudvann has shown this not to be anthophyllite, but gedrite/sodic gedrite. Further investigations is in progress to establish if anthophyllite exist at the typelocality or not. (Kullerud et al. 2019).
