Sandnes feltspatbrudd, Risør, Agder, Norge
The name Sandnås is used in Neumann (1985), but it may be a misprint for Sandnes. Not far from the Sandnes farm there is, according to the altitude mapsd one certain quarry and one potential.
There is of course no guarantee that the here used coordinates are the right ones.
The uncertain quarry is located at:
58.68958°N 9.16358°E
Another issue is that after 1970 numerous new houses/cabins have been built in this area, so it might very well be that the Neumann (1985) locality no longer exists.
