Old feldspar quarry in granite pegmatite.

Neumann (1985) refering to Schetelig (1913), but doesn't give the name of the quarry. It could be one of the quarries at Lyngsvåg, Ersåger or Bugdøy.

Barth (1931) describes a small feldspar quarry east on the Spindsodden.
It is not known if that one is identical with the Spind locality.
