ILMENITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 0.10 mm ilmenite crystal	Species: ILMENITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 0.10 mm ilmenite crystal (tiny !) Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2291 Notes: Also on the u2291 micro-boxed specimen with anatase is this lustrous metallic black crystal. Only about a mm away from the anatase, so assuming ilmenite. I cannot discount the possibility that this is hematite.
