The NGU has registered a feldspar occurrence in a granite pegmatite at the here presented coordinates. These are not the same as the feldspar quarry where the minerals have been found.
However, there are so many quarries/mines in this area, that it is impossible to know which is which quarry/mine.
The area is also known for the presence of rutile mines. See Fone Rutile Mine.
It can be suspected from the shape of the quarry on the altitude map, that the feldspar quarry might be found at: 58.8428,9.06724
All the quarries in this area require field confirmation.
