Mineralogy: The main mineral in HellvikSplitt is a calcisodium-felspar located between
the neighbouring minerals andesin and labrador, and is thus perceived as a labradorite.
This kind of rock is a gabbro, as well as a very light plagioclasite (anortosite).Originally
this mineral was light grey and extremely hard, but after a partial metmorphosis the we
have today is whiter and tougher. The ratio between the modified and the original
plagioclasite is roughly 50 : 50.
