Sandkilvegen steinbrudd, Høvringsvatnet, Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norge
A small rock quarry exposing the Høvringsvatnet granite/monzonite intrusion.
Molybdenite was once seen in situ in the rock.
During the 2019 student excursion of the University in Bonn, several interesting new discoveries were made.
