Spro pegmatitten, Nesodden, Akershus, Norge
An old feldspar quarry, now abandoned, in a granite-pegmatite. It was worked in the period 1890 to 1920. Then closed but reopened again during WWII.
The local rumors says that the feldspar from this locality was so good that it was exported and used in porcelainproduction in Meissen, Germany.
