EPIDOTE Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH 2.7 cm epidote crystal.	Locality: Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH Specimen Size: 2.7 cm epidote crystal. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 893 Notes:
EPIDOTE Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH 2.3 cm epidote crystal.	Locality: Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH Specimen Size: 2.3 cm epidote crystal. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 567 Notes:
EPIDOTE Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH 2.8 cm epidote crystal group.	Locality: Wheeler Mtn., Winchester, NH Specimen Size: 2.8 cm epidote crystal group. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 571 Notes:
EPIDOTE Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 8 mm Ce rich epidote crystal (black) with vesuvianite (brown), diopside (green) grossular (red) and calcite (white). EPIDOTE Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 8 mm Ce rich epidote crystal (black) with vesuvianite (brown), diopside (green) grossular (red) and calcite (white).	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 8 mm Ce rich epidote crystal (black) with vesuvianite (brown), diopside (green) grossular (red) and calcite (white). Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 732 Notes: Two views. This is likely the largest, complete, epidote crystal found to date at the Joppa Hill locality. Three EDS analyses EDS analysis #1 , EDS analysis #2 & #3 showed only a trace amount of Ce in the Joppa Hill epidote. Prior to the EDS analyses, many collectors thought the Joppa Hill epidotes were allanite.
EPIDOTE Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 4 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: Notes:
EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 3.5 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 3.5 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u701 Notes:
EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH u701, another crystal on this specimen.	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm broken epidote crystal cross-section showing hexagonal-like, color zoned, growth rings. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u701, another crystal on this specimen. Notes: Perhaps the Ce content varies from one growth ring to next?
EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 7 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich, on titanite. Interesting growth rings or perhaps a cyclic twin of some type.	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 7 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich, on titanite. Interesting growth rings or perhaps a cyclic twin of some type. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u161 Notes:
EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Pair of 3.5 mm epidote crystals with attached grossular.	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: Pair of 3.5 mm epidote crystals with attached grossular. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u701, more epidote crystals on this specimen. Notes:
EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 4 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich, with titanite crystals on top. EPIDOTE Ce rich Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH 4 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich, with titanite crystals on top.	Locality: Joppa Hill, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: Two views. 4 mm epidote crystal, Ce rich, with titanite crystals on top. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u159 Notes: Many of these near black Joppa Hill epidote crystals are moderately complex, lacking obvious prism faces.
