A 600m long and up to 30m wide kyanite quartzite body located at 3 km W of the summit of Mt. Nasafjell.
Locality may be refered to as "Saltfjellet" on labels in collections.
Müller et al. (2019) describes three elongated lenses of kyanite quartzites located at the SW slope of the Nasafjell (1210 m a.s.l.), south of Saltfjellet and eastsoutheast of Bolna Railway station. This entry is for the body located between two other kyanite quartzite bodies (see map in Müller et al. (2005).
