Glamsland pegmatittbrudd ligger ca. 3 km vest for Lillesand. Pegmatitten består hovedsakelig av det som på Sørlandet kalles "tint" som er en grovkornig blanding mineraler av granittisk sammensetning. Ca.40% oligoklas, ca, 30% mikroklin, ca. 27% kvarts og 2 - 3% jernholdige mineraler. Like ved bruddene, ble det i 1968 bygd ferdig et flotasjonsverk som floterte ut kvarts, plagioklas (oligoklas), kalifeltspat (mikroklin) og biotitt. Forekomsten ble drevet de siste år av Sibelco Nordic, men driften ble nedlagt i 2011.
