Vånne 2 feltspatbrudd, Vånne, Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norge
A feldspar quarry about 80 m SE of the well-known Vånne 1 quarry.
NOTE Ronald Werner 2021:
Quarry visited 2 september 2021. Most likely from the same time as the Vånne 1 quarry, but not mentioned by Andersen (1931) and therefore from after 1931. The quality of the exposures is low. No obvious signs of accessory minerals at the dumps, nor were there clear signs of collecting activity.
