The radial structure normally-bronze-colored schoonerite in the center of the photo has altered to a darker color. Falsterite, a deep-blue zinc mineral, (recently identified from the Palermo Mine as a new species) is a frequent associate of schoonerite.
Beryllonite, etched beryl, and hydroxylherderite are also on this specimen, #1263.
Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH
Specimen Size: 0.4 mm crystal group
Field Collected: Walter Lane
Catalog No.: u1263
Notes: More traditional appearing schoonerite (of similar color) is also on this specimen.
Jahnsite might also be a candidate ID here, however most Palermo jahnsite is more flat-bladed. These crystals are almost round in cross-section.
Beryllonite, etched beryl, and hydroxylherderite are also on this specimen, u1263.

Notes: Another crystal group similar to the one above on specimen u1263.
More traditional appearing schoonerite (of similar color) is also on this specimen.
Jahnsite might also be a candidate ID here, however most Palermo jahnsite is more flat-bladed. These crystals are almost round in cross-section.
This photo is at the magnification limit of my scope and camera.
