Kloppene, Arendal, Agder, Norge
Granite pegmatite. Locality mentioned by Brögger (1833). Coordinates presented here are for the area called Kloppene. This area is densily populated, and chances to ever find this locality back seem neglectable. In 1946 this area was sparsily populated with a lot of forest remaining.
In Norwegian, the name "Klopper" refers to timber logs used as pathways in marshes.
