Unfortunately, I am unable to find any evidence of a location called Konøsu anywhere online; this specimen is almost certainly mislabelled and is most likely from the rutile locale of Kongsli, very close to Vinstra.

This specimen has been historically mounted with blue-tac which has left residue/staining to the rear. It has now been remounted with a better quality putty but no attempt has been made to remove the bluetac.
