A porphyric granodiorite with 1-3 cm large feldspar crystals, with in between them fine-grained feldspar/quartz/biotite. The locality was studied in the early 1990's and some blocks were extracted in the period 1993-95.
A small quantity of this rock has been used as floor tiles in buildings in Vevelstad, Narvik and Trondheim (NGU), and as a memorial stone (menhir) at the Dolstad Church in Mosjøen.
