In the beginning of the 1930s there were 11 feldspar quarries at the land of the Mølland farm. These were named by Bjørlykke (1934) Mølland 1, 2, 3 etc.

The total number of quarries is at present higher, though some are very small. The following places should be checked:
58.50153°N 7.89283°E
58.50439°N 7.89134°E
58.50387°N 7.88386°E

58.51104°N 7.90923°E
58.51077°N 7.90937°E

Especially known from this area are museum specimens of aeschynite-(Y), spessartine and monazite.

The coordinates are for the farmhouse.

WARNING: the owner of the Mølland quarries doesn't allow any form of collecting. Please, do not attempt to visit them carrying equipment. When he sees an unknown car parked near the entrance road to the quarries, he will hunt you down. The quarries are strictly out of bounds for mineral collectors!

Colour: Yellowish brown; Brown
ⓘ Monazite-(Nd)
Formula: Nd(PO4)
Description: Selbekk (2010) reports the presence of Nd-dominated zones in predominantly Ce-rich monazite. He deemed it therefore correct to list monazite-(Nd) as a valid species for this locality. He did not specify in which of the Rostadheia quarries this discovery was made. Unfortunately, these quarries are off-limit for collectors, and it is therefor impossible to try to collect more samples for further study.
