Species: MAGNESIOHORNBLENDE Locality: 2 Mile Rd. Hanover, NH Specimen Size: 6.5 cm specimen, magnesiohornblende crystals in diabase matrix, front and back sides Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 9/25/11 Catalog No.: 2029 Notes: An EDS analysis (BC182 - 3/2/17) indicated magnesiohornblende was the best species fit for this amphibole. |
Species: MAGNESIOHORNBLENDE Locality: Pike Industries Quarry, Beech Hill, Carroll, NH. Specimen Size: 1.0 mm field of view Field Collected: Woody Thompson Catalog No.: u2365 Notes: Splintery crystals appear to be zoned Fe (green) to Mg (clear). My original visual ID for these was actinolite, but EDS analysis indicated moderate aluminum. Moderate aluminum is allowed for actinolite. This analysis showed 0.45 APFU of Al. [tm] I am reconsidering an actinolite identification for this u2365 specimen. |
