Midtfjellet larvikittbrudd, Malerød, Larvik, Vestfold, Norge

Small larvikite quarry south-west of Vardåsen quarry and south of the old Malerød quarry. Rich in thin pegmatites and mineralised miarolitic cavities. Several good finds where done in 2006 and 2007, then the quarry was not worked until the spring 2010, when they took up the work again.

Note: Specimens from this locality have been labelled "Malerød" which is the nearby Malerød quarry.
