Wagnerittskjerpet, Midtre Havredal, Havredal (Hafredal), Bamble, Telemark, Norge
Brøgger & Reusch (1875) describes this locality as Havredal. Later, in the Norvegian edition of the article (Brøgger & Reusch 1880) it is called Midtre Havredal.
This was a small prospect for wagnerite as a phosphate ore, related to Ødegården Verk. A 60 cm in width wagnerite-bearing pegmatite was mined. The locality, which is situated close by the Midtre Hafredal Farm, is now mostly destroyed after the construction of a new part of a road (Hafredalsveien), and just remnants of it is left to be seen today (2010).
Brøgger (1888) described "pseudobrookite" from this locality.
