FLUORITE    Streeter Hill Fluorite Prospect, Chesterfield, NH
2.5 cm milky, stained, fluorite cleavage

Species:           FLUORITE
Locality:          Streeter Hill Fluorite Prospect, Chesterfield, NH
Specimen Size: 2.5 cm milky, stained, fluorite cleavage
Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 2006
Catalog No.: Secondary collection
Notes: The Streeter Hill prospect is a Morrill locality, listed in slashes under Westmoreland. It is actually in north-western Chesterfield. On two visits, only milky fluorite cleavages, such as this one, were found. Clusters of clear, needle-like, "solution quartz" and micro crystals of barite provide better specimens for collectors at this locality.

FLUORITE    Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH
13 cm specimen with pale green fluorite octahedrons to 2 cm
Species:           FLUORITE  
Locality:          Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH
Specimen Size: 13 cm specimen with pale green fluorite octahedrons to 2 cm
Field Collected: Don Swenson
Catalog No.: A Don Swenson specimen
Notes: This is a most remarkable Stoddard Mine specimen. Without confirmation from long-time collecting friend Don Swenson, I would naturally think this piece was from the nearby Wise Mine, a locality long known for its world class green fluorite specimens.
This fluorite has a pale blue fluorescence, more prominent with long wave UV.
