Species: FLUORAPATITE on muscovite Locality: Keyes Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 18 cm close up view of 20 cm tall specimen Field Collected: Keyes Mine miners Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen, #3435. Jeff Scovil photos Notes: [dd] "The largest apatite crystals are 2.4 cm long. I purchased this from Bob Whitmore in 2011 and he got it at an auction of material from the Crystal Arrowhead shop that used to be in Bristol, NH. Bill Brownell was the owner of that shop and he got it from the miners in 1961. According to what Bob told me Brownell purchased that piece but the pocket was never fully excavated and subsequently buried." |
