Laueite photos below illustrate the substantial color variation seen in New Hampshire laueite specimens.
LAUEITE Locality: Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH 2.5 mm field of view. Yellow-orange laueite crystals.	Species: LAUEITE Locality: Chickering Mine, Walpole, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view. Yellow-orange laueite crystals. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer (Oct. 2010) Catalog No.: u1169 Notes:
LAUEITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.8 mm pale yellow, zoned, laueite crystal	Species: LAUEITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.8 mm pale yellow, zoned, laueite crystal Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1266 Notes:
LAUEITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 1.6 mm laueite crystal.	Species: LAUEITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1.6 mm laueite crystal with siderate. Field Collected: Walter Lane - From unsorted MMNE Give-away Catalog No.: TBC Notes: .
LAUEITE Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 1 mm laueite spray	Species: LAUEITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1 mm laueite spray Field Collected: Walter Lane 1995-96, Cat. #1083 Catalog No.: A Gene Bearss collection specimen Notes: Stack of 10 images processed with Helicon Focus.
LAUEITE Fitzgibbons Mine, Alstead, NH 0.4 mm-wide grouping of pale laueite xls. LAUEITE Fitzgibbons Mine, Alstead, NH 0.4 mm-wide grouping of pale laueite xls.	Species: LAUEITE Locality: Fitzgibbons Mine, Alstead, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm-wide grouping of pale laueite xls. Two views Field Collected: Marcelle Weber Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken collection specimen Notes: [bw] In top view I was trying to include all the little whitmorite balls in the upper left. Perhaps the pink mass in the lower photo, center left, is the strengite listed by Morrill?
LAUEITE E.E. Smith Mine, Alexanderia, NH Laueite crystals to 0.4 mm	Species: LAUEITE Locality: E.E. Smith Mine, Alexanderia, NH Specimen Size: Laueite crystals to 0.4 mm Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen Notes: [bw] The double chambered vug is 2.0 mm across. This is the only sample of laueite I found in a 2006 boulder.
LAUEITE (with paravauxite zoning?) Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 1 mm spray of laueite crystals with clear apatite crystals at top.	Species: LAUEITE (with paravauxite zoning?) Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1 mm spray of laueite crystals with clear apatite crystals at top. Field Collected: From tub of Palermo rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore Catalog No.: u1945 Notes: Center of cluster is clear. I asked Jim Nizamoff about this zoning, particularly with laueite and paravauxite. He replied: "Yes, you can absolutely have that. I saw this particular zoning at Palermo No. 2 on several specimens and expect that it occurs at Palermo No. 1 as well. I believe that many of the secondary phosphates that exhibit a compositional series (especially Fe vs Mn as in laueite-paravauxite, childrenite-eosphorite or Fe3+ vs Al as in jahnsite-whiteite) can be zoned in this way. Usually they show a concentric type zoning (core is mineral A and rim is mineral B). I haven't seen zoning that is non-symmetrical."
