An area of industrial and commercial development at the contact between the Drammen granite and contact metamorphosed cambrosilurian sediments close to the main highway E 18 between Asker and Drammen. During road constructions and excavation of building sites minerals have been collected during the last 30 years both from miarolitic cavities in the granite and from the hornfels.
