In a quarry on Resarö’s eastern headland in Vaxholm municipality, a heavy black stone was found about 200 years ago. This would be the beginning of an unparalleled development in Swedish chemical research. 23 elements were identified, eight of these in minerals from the quarry.
The Ytterby Gruva association works for:
