Skjerpet ligger 6-7m fra lysløypa, men er sterkt overgrodd, særlig av einer. Skjerpet er ei 2 x 3m grop og inneholder 3 malmtyper: 1: Mulig et kalksilikat, mye metamorfisert/omvandlet, feltspatrik. Nåler av diopsid/tremolitt. Pyritt mineralisering. (Ref + analyseprøve) 2: En gjennomrustet variant av type 1. Det ser ut som all CaCO3 er felt ut. Mineraliseringen er py/po. (Ref + typeprøve) 3: Grå, finkorna, frisk kalkspatmarmor. Noe båndet og pyritt-mineralisering følger båndingen. (ref.prøve)
