Abstract:
A kyanite-quartzite south-east of Skei in Surnadal has been investigated by field sampling and core drilling with Pack Sack equipment. The 5-6 m thick layer, identified only in a single outcrop, has an average kyanite content of 30% according to analyses of the drill cores. The deposit has a near vertical plunge and the lateral extension is unknown, due to lack of outcrops.

Norwegian kyanite quartzites - potential resources of high purity quartz?

Abstract:
Forkortet: This study represents an evaluation of Norwegian kyanite quartzite occurrences as potential deposits of high purity quartz raw material. Kyanite quartzites are rare fine-grained with 70 to 85 vol. % quartz and > 15 vol. % kyanite (Al2SiO5) which occur in Proterozoic supracrustal rock units. Kyanite quartzites form stratiform lens-shaped bodies, which can extend several kilometers.
