  • National Treasure of Global Significance. Dimension-Stone Deposits in Larvikite, Oslo Igneous Province, Norway
    National treasure of global significance. Dimension-stone deposits in larvikite, Oslo igneous province, Norway Tom Heldal1, Idunn Kjølle2, Gurli B. Meyer1 and Sven Dahlgren3 1Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Directorate of mining, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 3Geological advisor, Buskerud, Telemark and Vestfold, Fylkeshuset, 3126 Tønsberg, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] Larvikite has for more than a hundred years been appreciated as one of the world’s most attractive dimension stones, and at present, its production and use is more extensive than ever. The main reason for the continuous success of larvikite on the world market is the blue iridescence displayed on polished surfaces, which is caused by optical interference in microscopic lamellae within the ternary feldspars. The larvikite complex consists of different intrusions, defining several ring- shaped structures, emplaced during a period of approximately five million years. Following this pattern, several commercial subtypes of larvikite, characterised by their colour and iridescence, have been mapped. Four of these subtypes are being exploited at the present time and define the most important reserves in the short run. Some other subtypes are less attractive in the present market situation, but may provide an interesting potential for the future. However, the industrial value of the larvikite also depends on other geological features, such as various types of dykes, faults and fractures, ductile deformation zones, late-stage magmatic and hydrothermal alteration and deep weathering. When combining the distribution pattern of such features with the map of the larvikite subtypes, it is possible to delineate various types of larvikite deposit that are considered to have commercial value in the short or long term.

It is also a region that serves as an excellent base for alpine ski touring and off-piste skiing. Here, you are surrounded by fjords, islands, deep valleys, pristine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and mountain plateaus. But, first and foremost, wild and rugged mountains in seemingly endless terrain. Imagine standing on one of those Arctic peaks admiring the view just before you cruise down on your skis to the fjord side. WHY SKI TOURING IN THE NARVIK REGION? • A great variety in mountain landscapes, from the fjords in coastal Norway to the high mountain plateaus in Swedish Lapland. • Close to 100 high quality ski touring peaks within a one- hour drive from Narvik city centre. • Large climate variations within short distances, which improves the chances of finding good snow and weather. • A ski touring season that stretches from the polar night with its northern lights, to the late spring with never- ending days under the midnight sun. • Ascents and descents up to 1700 metres in vertical distance. • Some of the best chute skiing in the world, including 1200-metre descents straight down to the fjord. • Possibilities to do train accessed ski touring. • A comprehensive system of huts that can be used for hut-to-hut ski touring or as base camps. • 5 alpine skiing resorts within a one-hour car drive or train ride • The most recognised heli-skiing enterprise in Scandinavia, offering access to over 200 summits.

  • THE GRANITIC ROCKS of FARSUND, SOUTH NORWAY INTRODUCTION the Present Study Is a Reappraisal of the Granitic Rocks Described As F
    THE GRANITIC ROCKS OF FARSUND, SOUTH NORWAY ERIC MIDDLEMOST MIDDLEMOST, E.: The granitic rocks of Farsund, South Norway. Norsk Geo/. Tidsskr. 48, pp. 81-99. Oslo 1968. The farsundite is a composite granitic body that crops out over an area of some 420 sq. km. in southern Norway. On a local scale the contact between the farsundite and the surrounding country rocks is often discordant; but when observed on a regional scale a broad structural conformity emerges. Three main facies are found within the farsundite body and the mineralogy and chemistry of these units is discussed. The farsundite is regarded as part of the Rogaland anorthosite province. It was emplaced as a magma that was augmented in volume by the in­ corporation of granitic gneiss. The charnockitic part of the farsundite body is believed to have crystallized under granulite facies conditions at a timl! whenthe main mass of rocks of the Rogaland anorthosite province was cooling down. INTRODUCTION The present study is a reappraisal of the granitic rocks described as farsundite by Barth (in Holtedahl 1960, pp. 41-44). These rocks crop out over an area of approximately 420 sq.km. in south western Vest-Agder, the southern-most county in Norway. Most of the farsundite crops out on a series of peninsulas and islands that are separated from one another by an intricate pattern of fjords. The highest point in the area is at Klåskniben (504 m.) which is 3.5 km east of Orange. The landscape is generally rugged, and it shows consider­ able evidence of ice sculpturing.

  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.
