Description |
Bergarten er rød rhyolitt med en ganske klar foliasjon. Denne er årsak til at her er produsert endel murestein, men hovedproduktet fra bruddet har vært nedknuste masser (grus og pukk). |
Location |
Forekomsten ligger ca. 6 km SSØ for Kongsvinger sentrum. Kongsvingerbanen mot Magnor og Sverige går bare 300 m VSV for bruddet. |
