Description
Det er forlengst slutt på uttak av naturstein her, men her er store uttak av pukk. Bruddet har anselige dimensjoner: 3-400 m lengde, 100-200 m bredde og 30-40 m avsenkning. Bruddet brukes også som treningsbane for motorcross. Det eneste gjenværende som minner om natursteinsdriften er Johansen Monumenthuggeri som ligger i utkanten av bruddet. Skulpturer av forskjellig slag og av mange forskjellige bergarter blir her tilhogd etter bestilling fra kunder fjernt og nært.
Location
Bruddet ligger ca. 200 m SV for den nye E6 mellom Sarpsborg og Halden, ca. 5 km SØ for Sarpsborg.

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.
