ROSCHERITE group Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH 3 mm field of view ROSCHERITE group Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH 3 mm field of view	Species: ROSCHERITE group Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH Specimen Size: 3 mm field of view Field Collected: Gene Bearss Catalog No.: u1102 Notes: Gene had this labeled as "Roscherite group". Neither roscherite nor greifensteinite have been previously reported from the Parker Mtn. Mine.
TRIPLOIDITE Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.7 mm crystal group	Species: TRIPLOIDITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.7 mm crystal group Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen & photo. (TURTriploidite01Cs) Notes: A Bob Wilken visual ID. [tm] An EDS definitely needed here.
TROGERITE Oliver Trench, Moat Mtn., Hale's Location, NH 0.3 mm paper-thin plate of trogerite on pharmacosiderite .	Species: TROGERITE Locality: Oliver Trench, Moat Mtn., Hale's Location, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm paper-thin plate of trogerite on pharmacosiderite Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: u2089 Notes: Likely a "one-of-a-kind" New Hampshire example. This 0.3 mm paper-thin plate is super reflective. Either you see nothing or a bright reflection. The camera angle and light angle must be perfect to see anything. This is a re-do of a previous photo of this specimen. Trogerite identification supported with EDS analysis.
PHOSPHOPHYLLITE Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.5 mm clear phosphophyllite crystal	Species: PHOSPHOPHYLLITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.5 mm clear phosphophyllite crystal Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: u590 Notes: A re-photo of this specimen. The tiny flecks on this specimen are quite firmly attached.
GORDONITE Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.4 mm crystal	Species: GORDONITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen & photo. (PALGordonite01AS) Notes: A Bob Wilken visual ID. [bw] "the gordonite looks pretty square-topped ... it has to do with limited viewing angle. There is a hump of rock that prevents straight-on clear viewing of the crystal."
