Description

Bruddet strekker seg fra sjøen og ca. 50 m innover. Bredden er 10-20 m, og avsenkningen < 1m. Granitten er svakt rødlig, lys og grovkornig.

Location

Bruddet ligger på Spjærøy, nord for RV 108. En vei tar av fra RV 108 mot NØ ca. 500 m SØ for brua mellom Vesterøy og Spjærøy. Denne veien går i en bue som ender på SV-siden av ei lita bukt ved sjøen på østsiden av øya. På andre siden av denne bukta (N-siden) ligger bruddet.

Abstract:

This work is a report of granite and the granite industry in Norway. It contains a description of the various fields of granite and similar rocks from a scientific as well as from a technical and economical standpoint. The geological occurrence of the various rocks, their chemical and mineralogical composition, are thoruoughlyoughly treated, also the questions of practical interest, as the quality and other technical properties, further the problems of location and conditions for transport, conditions for quarrying and otherquestions of interest in the utilization of the various occurrences of granite. Granite: This chapter consideres first the mineralogical and chemical composition of the granite, and the various types of granite resulting from the varying composition; thereafter the most important structural types and how these are dependent on the geological appearance of the rock. Lakkolites and other froms assumed by granite masses when injected into the crust of the earth, are mentioned; some examples of beautifully formed lakkolites are also mentioned. The question of sheet structure and rift in the granite are of great importance in its utilization, and are of interest both practically and theoretically.
