HYDROZINCITE Mascot Mine, Gorham, NH 10 mm field of view HYDROZINCITE Mascot Mine, Gorham, NH 5 mm field of view	Species: HYDROZINCITE Locality: Mascot Mine, Gorham, NH Specimen Size: 10 mm field of view, first photo Field Collected: Cliff Trebilcock Catalog No.: A Cliff Trebilcock specimen Notes: White hydrozincite coating a prismatic mineral. My first guess for this substrate mineral was hemimorphite. Cerussite seemed possible also.
