Kalkstein - norsk mineralprodukt med vekstmuligheter.
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;TIDSSKRIFTARTIKKEL;Årsmelding; No.1989;24-25 pages
Abstract:
Kalkstein er blant Norges viktigste mineralprodukter med en årlig produksjon på over 5 millioner tonn. De internasjonale markedsutsiktene gir rom for vekst. Særlig innen miljøteknologi (fjerning og nøytralisering av helsefarlige elementer) og til framstilling av spesielle papirkvaliteter, vil etterspørselen etter kalkstein øke. Utviklingen innen prosessteknologi gjør at forekomster som tidligere ikke ble vurdert som økonomisk interessante, i årene framover kan vise seg å bli lønnsomme.

Rusty, skarn-type lenses and bands are enclosed in calcite marble north of Rølvåg close to the sea in the northwestern Above this zone is nearly flat-lying layers, up to 4 m thick, with semi-massive bands of magnetite in calcite marble (Samples JSFE15.20-21). Locally, coarse grained hematite occurs, and the matrix in these bands are pyroxene, quartz and minor amphibole. This iron formation is probably an eastward continuation of the IFs on the island Risøya.
