Quartz is one of the most popular species for New Hampshire mineral collectors. It is found in many different varities including clear, milky, smoky, amethyst (purple-lavender), rose, and the botryoidal form chalcedoney.
QUARTZ Springer Mine, Chesterfield, NH 3 cm specimen	Species: QUARTZ Locality: Springer Mine, Chesterfield, NH Specimen Size: 3 cm specimen. A cluster of clear & milky quartz crystals. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: NC Notes: The Springer Mine is not much more than a prospect. It is not particularly easy to find. The NH species collector will seek it for azurite and large, massive, barite specimens.

Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 1574 Notes: Curt LaPlante and I found this obscure locality in June, 2006. A quartz vein with a bit of pyrite/chalcopyrite. A no stack snapshot.

Vugs coated with druzy crystaline quartz are common at Mineral Hill.
QUARTZ Bebee River, Campton, NH 14 cm specimen	Species: QUARTZ Locality: Bebee River, Campton, NH Specimen Size: 14 cm specimen Field Collected: Bob Whitmore ? Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen (#987) and photo Notes: [tm] There is a mine tunnel into the ledge below Campton Falls on the Bebee River. Perhaps this specimen came from there.
QUARTZ Bebee River, Campton, NH 9.5 cm tall specimen	Species: QUARTZ Locality: Bebee River, Campton, NH Specimen Size: 9.5 cm tall specimen Field Collected: Bob Whitmore ? Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen (#1118) and photo Notes: [tm] There is a mine tunnel into the ledge below Campton Falls on the Bebee River. Perhaps this specimen came from there.
QUARTZ Beebe River, Campton, NH 19 cm specimen	Species: QUARTZ Locality: Beebe River, Campton, NH Specimen Size: 19 cm specimen Field Collected: unknown Campton, NH resident Catalog No.: NC Notes: Don Dallaire and Bob Whitmore acquired many similar large quartz plates from a Campton, NH resident in 1984. This was one Don acquired. Don opined that this may have come from one of several quarries adjacent to the Beebe River. Another possibility is that they may have come from the mine tunnel just below the falls on the Beebe River in Campton, photo. I concluded on my visit that the only way to access the tunnel would be to swim across (or a float) in August. Morrill lists "Old Gold Mine, accessible only by wading, at falls on Beebe River in cliff." Morrill lists tetrahedrite here, an NH species that I have never found.... that prompted my visit.
