SPHALERITE Mascot Mine, Gorham, NH 4 cm specimen with sphalerite crystals to 7 mm.	Species: SPHALERITE Locality: Mascot Mine, Gorham, NH Specimen Size: 4 cm specimen with sphalerite crystals to 7 mm. Field Collected: John Anderson Catalog No.: TBC Notes: This crystal group had a heavy limonite coating. At first glance I thought they were the common siderites from Mascot, but the crystal shape was wrong. A good cleaning revealed these nice sphalerite crystals. Unfortunately a few are dinged. These are the largest euhedral sphalerite crystals I have seen from the Mascot Mine.
