BERYLLONITE Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH 4 mm parallel growth of beryllonite crystals	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm parallel growth of beryllonite crystals Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u686 Notes: A visual identification. Beryllonite is reported from the Chandlers Mill Mine.
BERYLLONITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 2.5 mm field of view BERYLLONITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 2.5 mm field of view with annotation to indicate orientation of beryllonite "cordwood logs".	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view with second photo annotated to indicate orientation of beryllonite "cordwood logs". Field Collected: Walter Lane material from MMNE Catalog No.: u1263 Notes: A specimen re-photo. These "cordwood log" disk habit beryllonite crystals are difficult to photo. Uncertain as to the identification of the red-orange prisms. I had tentatively labeled these as schoonerite due to color simalarity to a classic appearing schoonerite spray a few mm away. But this is just a guess. These Beryllonite crystals are on a rather remarkable thumbnail size specimen. Also on this specimen are hydroxylherderite crystals, etched acquamarine beryl, and schoonerite crystals. One of the schoonerite crystal groups can be seen in this image on the left side of the beryllonite. The specimen is an interesting study in associations. The etched beryl is likely contributing the berylium for the beryllonite and hydroxylherderite.
BERYLLONITE Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Beryllonite crystals to 1 mm - most on edge view.	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chandlers Mill, Newport, NH Specimen Size: Beryllonite crystals to 1 mm - most on edge view. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: TBC Notes: A visual identification. These small beryllonite crystals are at the bottom of a small vug, presenting a challange to photograph.
BERYLLONITE Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH 4 mm field of view	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes: "Cog-wheel" disk habit beryllonite.
BERYLLONITE Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH 1.75 mm beryllonite crystal	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 1.75 mm beryllonite crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes:
BERYLLONITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH The beryllonite cluster is about 2 mm across, (vertical).	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: The beryllonite cluster is about 2 mm across, (vertical). Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1426 ? Notes: Classic, "cordwood stacked" beryllonite.
BERYLLONITE ? Pike Quarry, Hooksett, NH 0.6 mm beryllonite? plate	Species: BERYLLONITE ? Locality: Pike Quarry, Hooksett, NH Specimen Size: 0.6 mm beryllonite? plate Field Collected: Bob Wilken - 2014 Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen Notes: This is a visual identification by Bob. The morphology fits beryllonite.
BERYLLONITE Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH 1.5 mm crystal	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes:
BERYLLONITE Locality: Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH 4.5 cm specimen with green, soft - hardness ~ 2.5, mica in milky quartz matrix	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH Specimen Size: 3.4 mm field of view. Cluster of "cogwheel" or "cordwood" beryllonite crystals on black schorl crystal. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u1150 Notes: Micro beryllonite specimens from Chickering are about the best from NH. This specimen was the source for EDS verification.
BERYLLONITE Charles Davis Mine, Groton, NH 6.4 mm field of view	Species: BERYLLONITE Locality: Charles Davis Mine, Groton, NH Specimen Size: 6.4 mm field of view Field Collected: Gene Bearss ? Catalog No.: An Anna Wilken specimen acquired from Pat Parker Notes: Only known beryllonite specimen that I have seen from Charles Davis. Specimen exhibits "cog wheel" habit.
