Undeland 8, Undeland, Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norge
An approximateløy 16 m long feldspar quarry 735 m E of the Undeland 1 quarry.
The feldspar is darker red-brown than in most of the other Undeland quarries. Biotite is present somewhat higher up in the wall in the end of the quarry. At several places amphibolite is exposed in the walls, most notably in the farmost end of the quarry. Maybe the reason to abandon the quarry?
The dumps seem untouched, suggesting that the pegmatite did not contain any significant accessory minerals.
