Specimen Size: 2 cm specimen with yellow-orange zones of Schoepite/Paraschoepite.
Field Collected: Bob Janules
Catalog No.: u1781
Notes: Bob Janules initially had this specimen labeled as vandendriesscheite. Mindat.org lists vandendriesscheite for the Parker Mtn. Mine. This mindat reference appears to have been from the Art Smith "New Hampshire Mineral Locality Index" that appeared in the Jun/Jul 2005 issue of Rocks & Minerals. Art Smith's reference is to an unpublished 1995 article by Dana Morong, "Minerals of the Parker Mountain Pegmatite". This reference chain is an interesting case study of how a species can be assigned to a locality (and thence often to a state) mineral list with little or no published analytic supporting data.
A 2013 EDS analysis indicated Schoepite/Paraschoepite. The EDS analyst stated that this is "one of the simple hydrated Uranium oxides such as Schoepite/Paraschoepite There is no lead. The small silica content is probably scattering off [the instrument] backscatter diodes".
