A small prospect situated between Bjorvatn 1 and 2, as a minor outcrop in the bog, at the outskirts of the Fjølestadmyra. It does not seem as if any quantity of quartz has ever been transported out.
This prospect is situated more or less perfectly in the middle between Bjorvatn 1 & 2, and it might be interesting to establish if this is one huge pegmatite, or just smaller, separate pegmatites.
In the entire area around these localities pegmatite can be seen, though west of Bjorvatn 2 amphibolite can be seen, maybe the western border of this pegmatite?
