It commonly occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks, particularly in mineral assemblages associated with iron- and titanium-rich geological environments. Sannidal, within Kragerø Municipality in southern Norway, belongs to a region recognized for its varied mineral occurrences and longstanding mineralogical interest. This vintage-labeled specimen offers a classic example of massive Ilmenite from a historic Norwegian collecting locality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crystalary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67978852434051,"sku":"barrydwr5-1of2-128","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/4634\/8931\/files\/IMG_39283.jpg?v=1792529722","url":"https:\/\/www.thecrystalary.com\/products\/cuprite-malachite-butte-silver-bow-county-montana-usa-copy","provider":"The Crystalary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
