The Bogsdalen locality has been quarried for anorthosite with labradorescent plagioclase, but the occurrence was relatively small and of mediocre quality.
The localities for anorthosite with labradorite showing schiller effect (labradorescence) is located both in the municipalities of Hå and Eigersund. There are currently (2015) two active quarries for labradorescent anorthosite for ornamental use, the Krokavatnet Southeast in Eigersund, and Sørskog in Hå. The area is extensively mapped and several localities have been identified. The anorthosite from here is sold as " Blue Antique" or " Labrador Antique".
