Fantastic stone

The Fulufjället national park, which is situated in the northwestern part of the province of Dalarna adjoining the Norwegian border, was set up in 2002. Its surface area is 385 km2, two-thirds of which consists of bare mountain and mountain moors.
Several watercourses have worn down the bedrock and exposed sandstone structures that were formed about 1,300 million years ago. Conditions have varied greatly during the millions of years after the sand was deposited. Ripple marks indicate that sedimentation took place in shallow water and mud cracks indicate that the climate was arid. The sandstone is cut through by dolerite dykes. Along the watercourses you can see stones of greenish Särna tinguanite, which is not found anywhere else except in the northwestern Dalarna area.
