| Description |
| Bergarten er en middelskornet grå, båndet gneis bestående av hovedmineralene feltspat og kvarts. Også endel mm-store korn av rød granat finnes i bergarten, og den har tydelig foliasjon. Her produseres murestein til grovere murer, og det som ikke kan brukes til murer blir knust og brukes som pukk. |
| Location |
| Bruddet ligger 7-800 m NV for Nordheimsund sentrum. Bruddområdet dekker et areal på vel 20 mål. |
