Locality: Langesundsfjorden, Norway (See on Mindat)
Description:
Over the years I have accumulated a large inventory of pictures. I do not have the camera settings from back in those days and wish I had the rocks! But at least the images were saved, along with locality information. Added here to expand the database. (From the collection of A. O. L.) - Leucophanite from Langesundsfjorden - one of the most spectacular fluorescent minerals from this famous complex in southern Norway.
