Abstract/NotesMost helvite group minerals from the syenite pegmatites in the Oslo Region are manganese rich with helvite mol% ranging from 65% to 98.5%. From the present investigation on sixteen helvite group minerals, only two fall in the genthelvite field of the helvite-danalite-genthelvite triangular composition diagram. Yellow helvite (98-98.5 mol% helvite) from the Saga I quarry at Mørje, Porsgrunn and a very pale green genthelvite (98 mol% genthelvite) from Bratthagen in Lügendalen are among the purest helvite group end members hitherto reported. The Saga and Sandøy helvites are the first examples of fluorescence among the manganese rich helvites.
