TITANITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 6 mm field of view. Clusters of tiny titanite crystals.	Species: TITANITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 6 mm field of view. Clusters of tiny titanite crystals. Field Collected: Gene Bearss (1994) Catalog No.: A Gene Bearss specimen Notes:
TITANITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 0.3 mm "pine cone" habit titanite crystal cluster	Species: TITANITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm "pine cone" habit titanite crystal cluster Field Collected: Leroy Grant - 1970's Catalog No.: u2235 Notes: A carbon tape mounted grain EDS analysis (BC299) gave a very good match for titanite.
TITANITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 1 mm field of view.	Species: TITANITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 1 mm field of view. Field Collected: Leroy Grant - early 1970's Catalog No.: TBC Notes: EDS verified, set 23 - but no file saved. [tm] I did not suspect these small, tan, waxy, crystals were titanite.

TITANITE Rt 101-101A Road Cut, Amherst, NH 2 mm group of tan titanite crystals	Species: TITANITE Locality: Rt 101-101A Road Cut, Amherst, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm group of tan titanite crystals Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2264 Notes:
TITANITE Red Hill, Moultonborough, NH 1.2 mm field of view	Species: TITANITE Locality: Red Hill, Moultonborough, NH Specimen Size: 1.2 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2540 Notes: This was another candidate wohlerite specimen, but EDS analyses indicated just a yellow titanite. I have been looking for a Red Hill wohlerite for many years and have done several EDS analyses on candidate wohlerite specimens. They have all analyzed to be titanite. The original description of the Red Hill wohlerite occurrence was a 1907 article by Prisson and Washington in the American Journal of Science. A follow-up EDS analyses by Al Falster (MMGM lab) also indicated a titanite with a bit of zirconium and niobium. Wohlerite requires sodium that was not detected in either analysis.
