CALCITE Rt. 101 road cut, Bedford, NH 13 mm cluster of milky-clear, rough, hexagonal calcite crystals	Species: CALCITE Locality: Rt. 101 road cut, Bedford, NH Specimen Size: 13 mm cluster of milky-clear, rough, hexagonal calcite crystals Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 11/19 Catalog No.: u2270 Notes: A single camera shot. Cluster was too large to use with my photo stacking options. Not a lot of contrast for individual crystals.
CALCITE Pike Hooksett Quarry, Hooksett, NH 2.5 mm calcite disks overgrown with oxide coating and fine quartz crystal druze CALCITE on quartz crystals Pike Hooksett Quarry, Hooksett, NH 7 cm specimen. Quartz crystals with calcite disks overgrown with oxide coating and fine quartz crystal druze	Species: CALCITE Locality: Pike Hooksett Quarry, Hooksett, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm calcite disks overgrown with oxide coating and fine quartz crystal druze Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Oct 2019 MMNE field trip Catalog No.: u2475 Notes: These are on plates of quartz crystals, second photo. The preferential coating of the calcite crystals is interesting. The plate these are on is 7 cm x 4 cm. I found these on my way out from the MMNE field trip to the Pike Hooksett quarry.
