Corneliussen's Area 999 Locality 125. His website pegmatite.no no longer exists.
An old map of Kristen Dale from Bygland suggest that there might be a nearby occurrence or prospect at approximately 58.6607814187716, 7.825355529785157.
NOTE by Ronald Werner 2021:
Locality visited 5 september 2021. Probably one of the least accessible feldspar quarries in the entire district. There is no track I could find leading to the quarry, and most of my hike was the straight through the woods kind of type. The pegmatite exposures are sadly enough not fresh enough anymore to be of interest for geological study. Otherwise it might probably have been in almost the same league as the Solås quarry. However, its accessibility makes it uninteresting for further development.
