GRAPHITE West of soapstone quarry, Canterbury, NH 2.8 cm specimen with areas of silvery graphite on quartz.	Species: GRAPHITE Locality: West of soapstone quarry, Canterbury, NH Specimen Size: 2.8 cm specimen with areas of silvery graphite on quartz. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 2013 Catalog No.: 1891 Notes: My first thought was that this soft gray metalic-like mineral might be native silver. An EDS analysis showed there were no metalic elements present. Graphite is more common in New Hampshire than many collectors realize.
