Pegmatite mineral specimens from Iveland [http://www.mindat.org/loc-32512.html] and Evje [http://www.mindat.org/loc-5491.html] were earlier labelled as coming from "Setesdal (Setesdalen, Sรฆtersdalen)".
Setesdal is the geographical name of the valley that goes from Iveland in the south to Hovden in the north.
Setesdal (Urban East Norwegian: [หsรชหtษsdษหษซ]; older name: Sรฆtersdal) is a valley and a traditional district in Agder County in southern Norway. It consists of the municipalities of Bykle, Valle, Bygland, Iveland, and Evje og Hornnes.
The Otra river flows through the valley of Setesdal into the sea near Kristiansand. It flows southward from the Hardangervidda plateau in Telemark. The historic Setesdal starts at Evje and extends as far as the farm Bjรฅen, at the edge of the traditional region of Telemark. รvre (Upper) Setesdal is in the municipality of Bykle. The municipalities of Iveland, Evje & Hornes and Bygland comprise the Nedre (Lower) Setesdal. Valle municipality is in the middle of the Setesdal valley. Norwegian National Road 9 runs through Setesdal.
The oldest Norse form of the name was just Setr, and this was later replaced by Setrsdalr ('the dale/valley of Setr'). The common word setr has the meaning 'homestead, farm' โ and Setr was probably originally the name of an old, large farm in the central part of Valle. The old farm was then later divided into a lot of smaller parts, but the name survived as the name of the district.

| โ Monazite-(Nd) Formula: Nd(PO4) Locality: Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norway Description: Selbekk (2010) reports the presence of Nd-dominated zones in predominantly Ce-rich monazite. He deemed it therefore correct to list monazite-(Nd) as a valid species for this locality.
The locality Selbekk mentions "Lundekleven" is unknown, though publications from the early 1900's mention this name several times, without any further details.
