Chiavennitt-pegmatitten, Blåfjell (E18 veiskjæringer), Veiskjæringer E 18 Kokkersvold-Blåfjell, Langangen, Porsgrunn, Telemark, Norge
An irregular syenite pegmatite dike at Blåfjell, at the NW end of the Langangen Bridge. Only remnants of the pegmatite is left and visible today in a roadcut. The pegmatite was heavily zeolitized. The second find of chiavennite worldwide was made here in 1976 by Arne Åsheim
It was located approximately 100 m west of the ferrochiavennite dike
