Description

Bergarten er en rest av syenittisk gneis (Foslie 1941) som kan være en suprakrustalrest i grunnfjellet. Steinen er en mørk gneis med biotitt og amfibol. Den er tyktspaltende og i all vesentlig grad en stein for maskinmuring. Steinen brukt lokalt til muring. Vurdering Steinen kan brukes til maskinmuring, og det antas at ved knusing at den også kan gi brukbar pukk. Lokaliteten ligger relativt langt fra tenkbare markeder for murestein. Mineralogi Hovedmineralene er feltspatt, biotitt og amfibol.

Historic

Uttaket er mindre enn 10 år gammelt, etablert i forbindelse med utbyggingen av havn og kai på Håkonset, et lite sted ved Efjorden.

Location

Bruddet ligger ved Efjorden ved avkjøringen til Håkonset på veien fra E6 ved Kjerringvika mot Skarstad. Avkjøringen til Håkonset som ligger ca. 5,5 km fra Efjordbrua over Kjerringvikstraumen er skiltet.

Abstract:

The situation of the map Tysfjord is shown on p. 10. It comprises a very rugged country between the coast and the frontier, with several glaciers and mountains up to 1744 meter. The present paper contains the geomorphology, general geology, tectonics and glacial geology of the district, further the history of mining, a full description of all the non-metallic mineral deposits and of those ore deposits, which are restricted to this map area. The petrology and the rock analyses (amounting to more than 30) are reserved however for a special paper dealing with a wider district. The same is the case with the main ore deposits in the northern part, extending outside the map area. A main feature of the geomorphology of the district is the extreme westerly position of the main Scandinavian watershed. Its distance from the head of some of the present fjords is only 3 km, and in late glacial time this distance in one place was only 1 km. From here the water runs 350 km eastwards to the Gulf of Bothnia. There is scarcely to be found a parallel elsewhere to such an extreme position. The sceneries on both sides of this watershed are widely different.
