TORBERNITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.4 mm tabular torbernite crystal on rockbridgeite TORBERNITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 0.4 mm tabular torbernite crystal on rockbridgeite	Species: TORBERNITE Cu(UO₂)₂(PO₄)₂·12H₂O Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm tabular torbernite crystal on rockbridgeite - two views Field Collected: Walter Lane Catalog No.: u1200 Notes: First view with Canon G9 and Meiji EMZ5TR trinocular port. Second view with Canon T3i, Nikon Plan 10 objective lens. (Rotated 180) The T3i photo is better, but rear of crystal still lacks focus. A second T3i attempt was no better.
TORBERNITE Plume Mine, N. Groton, NH ~ 1.5 mm FOV	Species: TORBERNITE Locality: Plume Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: ~ 1.5 mm FOV Field Collected: Bob Willken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes: These green clusters were initially thought to be pharmacosiderite due to their proximity to weathering arsenopyrite. However, an EDS analysis showed this to be torbernite, (this EDS plot analysis is for this specific specimen).

TORBERNITE Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH 0.3 mm crystal in cleavelandite vug	Species: TORBERNITE Cu(UO₂)₂(PO₄)₂·12H₂O Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm crystal in cleavelandite vug Field Collected: Dana Morong Catalog No.: A Dana Morong collection specimen Notes:
TORBERNITE Keyes Mine, Orange, NH 0.3 mm cluster of torbernite crystals TORBERNITE Keyes Mine, Orange, NH 0.3 mm cluster of torbernite crystals	Species: TORBERNITE Locality: Keyes Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm cluster of torbernite crystals, two views Field Collected: Found in box of uncleaned, untrimmed, Keyes Mine specimens collected by Leroy Grant of Albany, NH (deceased). Collected in the 1970's. Catalog No.: u2237 Notes: Green crystals not fluorescent. A dark blue copper mineral (bornite?) is close-by. Matrix is small, rust coated, muscovite crystals, typical of the Keyes #1 Mine. Phillip Morrill does not report torbernite from the Keyes Mines. Several groups of pale-blue, fluorescent yellow, apatite crystals are also present on this specimen. Top photo with Canon T3i plus Nikon Plan 10 microscope objective, SOLUX incandescant lighting. Helicon Focus, method B, 42 images. Second photo with Canon SL3, Nikon Plan 10 objective on Canon 55-250 lens. LED lighting. Helicon method C stacking.
