Andersen (1931)'s designation: "Åneland V".
Andersen (1931) reports the find of topaz crystals several tens of centimeters long, but doesn't mention the presence of a cleavelandite zone. That is somewhat unusual for somebody who otherwise has been very thorough in his descriptions.
He further states that at the Åneland side 3-400 tons of feldspar were mined before 1927. At the Åmdal side they only had started to investigate the potential.
Andersen places the quarry 300 m NW of the Åneland farm. That would mean a place far outside the Kattedalen, and definitely not at the border of Åneland and Åmdal as Andersen wrote. It is more probably that he meant 300 m SW, because at that place there are actually two quarries.
The coordinates are given for the quarry that looks the eldest. Since there is no detailed information available in Andersen or anywhere else to my knowledge, this educated guess seems to be as far as one can get.
