Hello Hamarberg, thanks, what's the significance of this erratic?

Hi Andy, this type of stone(Tønsbergite) is only found in one other area of the world and it's Tønsberg in Norway(south of Oslo).

This stone is regarded as a Glacial Erratic from there :)

This Tønsbergite Erratic is also mentioned in the paper "The last glaciation of Shetland": https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/30317515.pdf
