Description
Bergarten er en mørk grå, bortimot svart granatglimmerskifer som er brutt mest for takskiferproduksjon. Men i tillegg er nok endel, som spalter tykkere, produsert til heller. Det er ikke snakk om noen stor produksjon her selv om bruddet dekker et areal på vel 8 mål. Det er brutt litt i overflata, mye skifer ligger igjen rundt bruddet og skiferen har muligens for dårlig kvalitet som takskifer. Noe av produksjonen har dessuten vært dekorskifer.
Location
Bruddet ligger i den sydvendte lia 1,3 km nord for gården Valbjør. En privat vei går inn i bruddet.
