HYDROXYLHERDERITE Keyes Mine, Orange, NH 2 mm field of view	Species: HYDROXYLHERDERITE Locality: Keyes Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm field of view Field Collected: Inga Bergraff Catalog No.: u1362 Notes:
APATITE-(CaF) Keyes #1 Mine, Orange, NH 4 mm apatite crystal	Species: APATITE-(CaF) Locality: Keyes #1 Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm apatite crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 1991 Catalog No.: u393 Notes: The small clear crystals on the apatite are bertrandite.

MUSCOVITE Keyes #1 Mine, Orange, NH 2 mm high crystal group	Species: MUSCOVITE Locality: Keyes #1 Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm high crystal group Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 1991 Catalog No.: u393 Notes:
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 Field Collected: Leroy Grant - 1970's Catalog No.: u2237 Notes: This is another view of u2237.
BORNITE Keyes #1 Mine, Orange, NH 2.5 mm field of view	Species: BORNITE Locality: Keyes Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view Field Collected: Leroy Grant - 1970's Catalog No.: u2237 Notes: The specimen with the torbernite also had this zone with likely bornite (or perhaps chalcopyrite). As torbernite is a secondary uranium-copper mineral, it is satisfying to see a source of primary copper close by. Not a spectacular photo, but a voucher specimen for bornite at Keyes. I will test it.
MONAZITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 0.4 mm crystal	Species: MONAZITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 0.4 mm crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2293 Notes: Red crystals are siderite
MONAZITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 1.9 mm field of view	Species: MONAZITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 1.9 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2323 Notes: Underlying matrix, mostly covered, is siderite.
