A small quarry in a minor, irregular pegmatite dyke. In the quarry the dyke might be 0,5-0,6 m in width, the length is impossible to establish. In the backwall amphibolite is exposed, as is above the pegmatite.
This prospect can only have yielded a couple of hundreds of kilos of feldspar, if any at all. Furthermore, the quarry is located in a very steep mountain side, and access to the locality is somewhat difficult.
This locality was found through study of the Norwegian LiDAR map at hoydedata.no.
The name is arbitrarily chosen for the nearest name on the map.
