SIDERITE - manganoan Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 2.5 mm field of view	Species: SIDERITE - manganoan Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Walter Lane material Catalog No.: u1548 Notes: A polished grain EDS analysis (BC10) showed only Fe, O, Mn, and small amount of Ca. Some of the carbon response is due to the carbon coating required for EDS. Collectors use the term "fish egg" habit for this siderite form. The substantial amount of manganese present indicates this is manganoan siderite, a recognized variety of siderite.
SIDERITE Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH 3 mm field of view.	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Pike Wilton Quarry, Wilton, NH Specimen Size: 3 mm field of view. Scallop habit siderite crystals. Field Collected: Don Swenson 9/15 Catalog No.: TBC Notes:
SIDERITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.6 mm red-brown siderite rhomb on manganese oxide coated earier generation of siderite	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.6 mm red-brown siderite rhomb on manganese oxide coated earier generation of siderite Field Collected: From a tub of Palermo phosphate rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore Catalog No.: u1942 Notes: A nice, isolated, siderite crystal. Siderite is very common at Palermo, but isolated, photogenic, crystals are uncommon.
SIDERITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 1.7 mm crystal cluster	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 1.7 mm crystal cluster Field Collected: Gene Bearss - 2014 Catalog No.: u1958 Notes: Initial thought was this was either dolomite or ankerite. An EDS analysis indicated siderite with a bit of added calcium, magnesium and manganese.
SIDERITE Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH 7 cm specimen with siderite rhombs to 7 mm SIDERITE Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH Siderite rhombs to 7 mm	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH Specimen Size: 7 cm specimen with siderite rhombs to 7 mm Field Collected: Don Swenson Catalog No.
SIDERITE Boulder field, N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH 2 mm field of view	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Boulder field, N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2379 Notes: Collected from the large boulder pipe in the boulder field. Clusters of these wine-red siderite rhombs are common in the vuggy albite from the large boulder pipe.
SIDERITE with Strunzite Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 4 mm field of view.	Species: SIDERITE with Strunzite Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view. Field Collected: From a tub of Palermo phosphate rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore Catalog No.: u2408 Notes:
SIDERITE with Quartz & Strunzite Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH 6 mm siderite crystal with clear quartz crystal in center	Species: SIDERITE with Quartz & Strunzite Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 6 mm siderite crystal with clear quartz crystal in center Field Collected: From a tub of Palermo phosphate rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore Catalog No.: u2381 Notes: From a 160 image stack.
SIDERITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.7 mm field of view. Black siderite scalehedron	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.7 mm field of view. Black siderite scalehedron. Field Collected: From a tub of Palermo rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore Catalog No.: u2390 Notes: Best guess on the white acicular mineral is strunzite.
SIDERITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 5 mm siderite scalenohedron	Species: SIDERITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 5 mm siderite scalenohedron (a solid bounded by twelve scalene triangles). Field Collected: From a tub of Palermo phosphate rocks gifted by Bob Whitmore. Catalog No.: u2445 Notes: From a stack of 143 images with EPO lens.
