Bjørlykke locality nr 64: "A feldspar quarry worked on a granite pegmatite dike about 50 m N of Ljosland 1 Feldspar Quarry.".

It is not possible to locate this quarry on the altitude map. There is also an uncertainty regarding the exact location of both Ljosland 1 and Ljosland 2. The coordinates used in Mindat are for the Corneliussen locality.

Note on the coordinates by Ronald Werner:
For anyone interested, I give below the coordinates as exact as possible from the descriptions in both Bjørlykke (1934) and Stensrud (2009 + map on p. 51) and additionally the coordinates of two localities from Andreas Corneliussen at http://www.pegmatite.no. One of them, mine E, he calls the Ljosland mica quarry (Ljosland glimmergruve).

A-E refers to points on a map I made over this area where the quarries are supposed to be located (Anyone interested can request a PDF copy of the map from the Evje og Hornnes geomuseum Fennefoss).

Bjørlykke (1934)
A = 200 m W of Nedre Ljosland = Ljosland 1
58.486971,7.933824
B = 50 m N of Ljosland 1 = Ljosland 2
58.487430,7.933770

Stensrud (2009)
C = Ljosland 1- 58.48665,7.93139
D = Ljosland 2 - 58.48775,7.92953

Corneliussen at www.pegmatite.no:
E = Ljosland glimmergruve 135 m SW of Nedre Ljosland - 58.48639,7.93535
At the location of the pinpoint, Corneliussen places another quarry, invisible on the altitude map: 58.48699,7.93474.
This suggests that what the quarry Corneliussen names as the Ljosland glimmergruve actually might be Ljosland 1,and that Ljosland 2 is situated at the location of the pin. And the conclusion would then be that Bjørlykke (1934) was inaccurate, since Ljosland glimmergruve (Ljosland 1?) is as said above only 135 m SW of the farm, and Ljosland 2 is 70 m NNW of the farm.

Stensrud (2009) would then be completely off by placing on his map on p. 51 Ljosland 1 450 m W of the farm.
There is a huge difference between Bjørlykke and Stensrud.

Stensrud would then be completely off by placing Ljosland 1 450 m W of the farm.

The coordinates here presented are for the Corneliussen locality (D).
