Saurdal

The Saurdal eclogite occurrence forms a ridge at the Saurdal farm, just west of Saurdalsvatnet near Gjølanger. On the southern slope of the ridge, a test project for eclogite as dimension stone was carried out in the early 1990s. Southwards, the eclogite occurrence passes into a chlorite-rich garnet amphibolite containing massive layers of ilmenite-magnetite ore.

This area includes an abandoned quarry in the eclogite occurrence. The quarry has sawn surfaces as well as loose blocks in a rock fill.
