Sagåsen Quarry (Sagasen Quarry; Strandåsen Quarry; Saga 3 Quarry), Sagåsen (Strandåsen), Mørje, Porsgrunn, Telemark, Norway

(Sagåsen bruddet)

The larvikite quarry are on a lower level, apürox. where Saga 1 was. A large pegmatite vein occurred in 2003, and produced a large number of both rare and good quality minerals. This quarry is still operating, and it's expected to still be one of the most exciting localities in the larvikite area also in the future.
