The quarry is especially famous for the good specimens of chrysoberyl that have been found in the past (Schetelig 1913). Chrysoberyl was first found her by Olaus Thortveit around 1909.

This quarry is the closest to the coordinates that the late Andreas Corneliussen had published on his website (www.pegmatite.no)- this website does not exist anymore.
