At the Kleivmyr, there are several smaller and one large feldspar quarries.

The largest quarry, the Lille Kleivmyr quarry, has been described by Müller et al. (2006).

A 150 x 50 m measuring granite pegmatite (simple abyssal HREE pegmatite).

The coordinates are for where the map shows the name "Kleivmyr".
