Species: HURLBUTITE Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 2.7 cm tall specimen Field Collected: Unknown Catalog No.: Don Dallaire specimen #2082 and photo. Notes: The Chandlers Mill Mine is the type locality for hurlbutite. |
|
Species: HINGGANITE-Y Locality: Smoky Quartz Area, N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm tall hingganite-Y cluster Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: A smoky quartz crystal in background. |
|
Species: HINGGANITE-Y Locality: Smoky Quartz Area, N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 1.1 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes:At N. Sugarloaf, hingganite is frequently associated wit fluorite. |
|
Species: HINGGANITE-Y Locality: Smoky Quartz Area, N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: A partial view of a no matrix cluster Bob mounted on a quill. Only on perimeter could I get some crystal definition. The terminations are different on this one. |
|
Species: DANALITE with MILARITE Locality: Creek Bed Location, N. Slope of S, Moat Mtn., Albany, NH Specimen Size: 5 mm vertical field of view. Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: Photo from a 167 image stack with EPO objective lens. I don't like to depart from my 4:3 format, but this micro had a large area of bright feldspar in the lower left, that had to be cropped out. |
|
Species: HELVITE ? Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: CHMHelvine01B. A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes: Bob presently has this labeled as Helvine (= Helvite), but a preliminary EDS analysis does not support a helvite identification. More study is needed. |
|
Species: GENTHELVITE Locality: N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Talus slope, Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 4.0 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: EDS analyzed by Gene Foord, # GFS028. |
|
Species: GENTHELVITE Locality: N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Talus slope, Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 0.9 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: Very unusual blue genthelvite. A similar specimen was EDS analyzed by Gene Foord, # GFS028. |
|
Species: URALOLITE Locality: Turner Mine, Marlow, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: u2507 Notes: The uralolite is fluorescent green. |
|
Species: URALOLITE Locality: Turner Mine, Marlow, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: TBC Notes: The uralolite is fluorescent green. |

|
Species: EUCLASE Locality: Chandler Mine Sidecut, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 0.9 mm field of view. (The 12 mm full specimen view shows mostly quartz crystals.) Field Collected: Bob Janules Catalog No.: A Bob Janules specimen Notes: New Hampshire euclase is only known from the Chandler Mine Sidecut. The Carl Francsis 1985 R&M article on the Chandlers Mine noted that the euclase "was verified by single crystal X-ray methods." |
Montebrasite chemistry is LiAlPO4(OH,F). Note, EDS cannot detect lithium.
Species: BAVENITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 6 mm bavenite crystal ball Field Collected: Don Dallaire Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen Notes: Photo from a stack of 271 images. |
|
Species: GADOLINITE-Nd Locality: N. Sugarloaf smoky quartz locale, Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 17 mm specimen Field Collected: Mike Undercofler Catalog No.: Don Dallaire specimen #XX. Don Dallaire photo. Notes: Gadolinite-Nd identification by Al Falster, 9/21. |
