Two quarries, seemingly working on the same pegmatite.

The colour of the rock on an aerial picture of 1969 indicates that these quarries are most likely feldspar quarries.

However, field confirmation is required.

At an aerial picture of 1950 these quarries do not exist yet.

The coordinates are given for a spot in the middle of the quarries.

The exact coordinates are:

58.60683,8.80701
58.60658,8.80743

At this place there seems to be a prospect, but the altitude map seems to indicate that no quantity of any significance can have been taken out:

58.606997984983614,8.807950615882875

Nearby the NGU registered an iron deposit at:
