Species: SCHOONERITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1.2 mm fov top image, 1.5 mm middle image, 1.3 cm over-all specimen view. Field Collected: Walter Lane, gift from Gene Bearss Catalog No.: u1247 Notes: Two close-up views and one over-all view of specimen u1247 |
| Species: SCHOONERITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1263 Notes: Canon G9, F3.5, 0.4 sec, Helicon Focus stack 6 images. The radial structure normally-bronze-colored schoonerite in the center of the photo has altered to a darker color. Falsterite, a deep-blue zinc mineral, (recently identified from the Palermo Mine as a new species) is a frequent associate of schoonerite. Beryllonite, etched beryl, and hydroxylherderite are also on this specimen, #1263. |
| Species: SCHOONERITE? Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm crystal group Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1263 Notes: More traditional appearing schoonerite (of similar color) is also on this specimen. Jahnsite might also be a candidate ID here, however most Palermo jahnsite is more flat-bladed. These crystals are almost round in cross-section. Beryllonite, etched beryl, and hydroxylherderite are also on this specimen, u1263. |
| Species: SCHOONERITE? Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.5 mm crystal group Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1263 Notes: Another crystal group similar to the one above on specimen u1263. More traditional appearing schoonerite (of similar color) is also on this specimen. Jahnsite might also be a candidate ID here, however most Palermo jahnsite is more flat-bladed. These crystals are almost round in cross-section. This photo is at the magnification limit of my scope and camera. Beryllonite, etched beryl, and hydroxylherderite are also on this specimen, #1263. |
