AUST-AGDER NATURMUSEUM OG BOTANISK HAGE - this is a section of the expositions, highlighting some classic minerals from especially the south of Norway. With strong educational emphasis.
FENNEFOSS MUSEUM - A small county museum dominated by an ever-growing mineral-collection. Some very nice local specialties make it to one of the major collections in the area, and with it's unique atmosphere well worth a visit.
IVELAND'S GEMEINDLICHE MINERALIENSAMMLUNG - This freely accessible museum (workdays 8-15.30) is one of the other major Evje-Iveland collections and for both the connoisseur and the rock-minded novice a must.
SETESDAL MINERALIENPARK - A uniquely built museum, with most of the imposing collection displayed in cases hogged out in the walls of mine-tunnels. This will give you a real "underground" experience! You can also rent rowing boats and there is serving of food and drinks. In the shop you can buy minerals and jewelry.

 

BIRKELAND MINES - I know that the owner sells tickets for a number of smaller mines. I know little about how the chances are of finding good minerals. Rumours say that there needs to be done work in the mines in order to supply fresh material.
EVJE MINERAL TRAIL - These pegmatite mines are still in operation for touristic purposes. A fresh supply of rock guarantees new finds all the time. Pieces of amazonite or crystals of quartz were readily collected last year. Sympathetic prices.
HÅVÅRSTAD - As far as I know are tickets for this mine sold through the Setesdal Mineralpark. Ask for further information at the Setesdal Mineralpark or at the Beryllen Steinsenter.
KNIPANE - Tickets can be bought at the Iveland Kommunehus.
LI-GRUBE - This mine is only accessable after permission of owner Tom Kalleberg. I think if you take contact with him, chances are good that you will be allowed to collect for a modest fee.
SLOBREKKA GRUBE - This is a somewhat more recently re-opened mine, probably one of the largest in Norway. There are talks about opening a mine for the exploitation of quartz. Here you can collect gadolinite, allanite, garnet, graphic granite and a number of rarer minerals.
UNCERTAIN MINES - There are a number of mines of which the status is uncertain. Visit the Beryllen Mineralsenter for further information. It would be nice to include the Lauvland Mine, Brattekleiv, Ås, Steli, Rossås, Kåbuland and a number of others to the list of fee-collecting sites. There are plenty pegmatites that haven't been touched at all and might once yield the fantastic crystals this area is famous for.

FLÅT NICKEL MINE - The Flåt mine was once the largest nickel mine in Europe and a decisive factor in the development of Evje as a centre of commerce. The mine was abandoned in 1946, but the last couple of years the upper levels have been made accessible for tourists. Here you can get a real underground experience, giving a good impression how miners worked 150 years ago.

BERYLLEN MINERALSENTER - About 20 km south of Evje you will find the best local rockshop, with a choice of local minerals and other souvenirs.
EVJE MINERAL TRAIL - The shop at the Mineralsti has minerals from the Landsverk I mine and from a number of other places in Norway.
EVJE TOURIST OFFICE - A small shop in the building of the tourist office in Evje present mainly stone-related souvenirs, but has also a small stock of norwegian minerals.
ODDESTEMMEN STEINSLIPERI - A Dutch stone-cutter who settled down in Norway. Probably the best cabachon cutter in north-west Europe. Offers a choice of silver jewelry in his own shop. Is also interested in receiving wholesale inquiries.
