Auen larvikittbrudd (Blue Pearl bruddet), Auenlandet (Auen), Porsgrunn, Telemark, Norge
A larvikite quarry located between the Sagåsen quarry and Thorbjørnsås Quarry. The quarry was especially known for large magnetite crystals up to 8 cm and 0,3 kg found in a strongly hydrothermal altered pegmatite dike (find of 1997-1998).
The quarry is no longer operating, and have been used as storage of larvikite blocks for Sagåsen Quarry.
