Species: KAOLINITE Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Center Strafford, NH Specimen Size: 1.3 cm view. Thin white crust of kaolinite on feldspar Field Collected: Tom Mortimer, May, 2010 Catalog No.: Notes: EDS analysis planned. Reprint of 1964 article, "The Parker Mountain Mine," by Philip C. Foster in Nov. 1982 issue of Granite Chips, newsletter of the Southeastern New Hampshire Mineral Club, states: "Kaolinite, while never officially recorded at this mine, is found as fine dusting coatings or as thin films on altering microcline, especially on the originally exposed on the originally exposed surfaces of this mineral." The sub mm coating on this specimen is very loosly attached. A light brushing will easly detach it. Dirt particles remain on the kaolinite surface because of this risk. |
