Locality: Globe Mine, Springfield, NH
Specimen Size: 2.4 cm specimen of massive crystaline lollingite.
Field Collected: John Reiner? #3504 (a purchased specimen)
Catalog No.: 1773
Notes: Lollingite is reported from the quartz-feldspar wall zone of the Globe Mine in Pegmatite Investigations, pg. 280.
Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH
Specimen Size: 7 cm, 1.2 lb. specimen of massive lollingite
Field Collected: Tom Mortimer
Catalog No.:
Notes: Gray-white oxide coating (likely acquired from years of burial in the mine dump) disguises the species, but weight of specimen gives it away.
Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH
Specimen Size: 3 cm lollingite crystal blade (repaired) on matrix, with yellow-green scorodite coating
Field Collected: Tom Mortimer
Catalog No.: 622
Notes: Blade thickness at center about 2mm. This is as close as I have come to a complete large lollingite crystal. A Center Strafford, NH lollingite was used to illustrate Dana's System of Mineralogy vol. 1.
Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH
Specimen Size: 1.8 mm lollingite crystal with yellow-green scorodite balls.
Field Collected: Bob Janules
Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen
Notes: Well formed lollingite crystals are rare.
Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH
Specimen Size: 10 mm crystal cluster with iridescent tarnish on beryl
Field Collected: Gene Bearss
Catalog No.: A Gene Bearss specimen
Notes:
Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH
Specimen Size: 4 cm high specimen
Field Collected: Don Swenson - 1989
Catalog No.: A Don Swenson specimen
Notes: This lollingite is very silvery-lustrous compared with other Parker Mtn. Mine lollingite specimens. The matrix appears to be ferrisicklerite, which is uncommon at Parker. I will test this lollingite on the off chance it is something else.
Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, Groton, NH
Specimen Size: 3.8 cm specimen.
Field Collected: per label "ex. Whitmore collection"
Catalog No.: TBC
Notes: Purchased from Ted Johnson, Yankee Minerals, 8/24/25, $15. Has number 0260.
Whitmore & Lawrence's book, The Pegmatite Mines Known as Palermo lists lollingite, but has no illustration. This is a solid massive chunk of lollingite with no matrix. Could jus as well be arsenopyrite, also listed for Palermo. EDS testing planned.
Mindat.org (2025) has two photos of arsenopyrite micro-crystals, but no lollingite photos.
Assuming this large primary arsenic mineral specimen is from Palermo, it is concerning that realgar is the only secondary arsenic species reported, (no known Palermo examples).
Pyrrhotite has a similar appearance, but is slightly magnetic. This specimen is not even slightly magnetic.
