FLUORITE Wise Mine, Westmoreland, NH 3.5 cm fluorite octahedron.	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Wise Mine, Westmoreland, NH Specimen Size: 3.5 cm fluorite octahedron. Field Collected: Unknown Catalog No.: 2080 Notes: Purchased from Bill Metropolis at 2108 Capital Mineral Club show. When I saw this on Bill's table for just $5, I could not leave it there!
FLUORITE Mud Pond, Ossipee, NH 2.3 mm crystal	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Mud Pond, Ossipee, NH Specimen Size: 2.3 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes:
FLUORITE Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH 3 mm fluorite crystals FLUORITE Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH 2 mm fluorite crystals Tetrahexahedron form	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Stoddard Mine, Westmoreland, NH Specimen Size: 2 to 3 mm fluorite crystals Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 1298 Notes: I call these fluorites "ice cubes." The crystal form is a tetrahexahedron, somewhat uncommon. Due to lack of contrast with the adjacent milky quartz crystals, they are most difficult to photograph. These images compare favorably with the best of this habit on mindat.org from Stoddard.
FLUORITE N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH 0.3 mm fluorite crystal	Species: FLUORITE Locality: N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 0.3 mm fluorite crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - June, 1989 Catalog No.: u172 Notes: These cubic clear fluorites with purple octahedral facits are quite photogenic. Although I had photoed a few of these before, I thought I would try a few more.
FLUORITE N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH 1.2 mm field of view	Species: FLUORITE Locality: N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 1.2 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - June, 1989 Catalog No.: u172 Notes:
FLUORITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 2.5 mm field of view. Pair of pale purple fluorite octahedrons with green glauconite.	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 2.5 mm field of view. Pair of pale purple fluorite octahedrons with green glauconite. Field Collected: Leroy Grant 1970's Catalog No.: u2362 Notes: The glassy yellow mineral at the top is unknown.
FLUORITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 1.8 mm clear fluorite crystal with green glauconite.	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 1.8 mm clear fluorite crystal with green glauconite. Field Collected: Leroy Grant 1970's Catalog No.: u2221 Notes: Cubic faces are preferentially frosted. From a stack of 57 images.
FLUORITE N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH 3 mm field of view	Species: FLUORITE Locality: N. Sugarloaf Mtn., Bethlehem, NH Specimen Size: 3 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u271 Notes:
FLUORITE Government Pit, ALbany, NH 1.5 mm field of view.	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Government Pit, ALbany, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm field of view. Field Collected: Leroy Grant Catalog No.: uncertain or NC Notes:
FLUORITE Government Pit, Albany, NH 1.5 mm clear cubo-octahedral fluorite crystal	Species: FLUORITE Locality: Government Pit, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm clear cubo-octahedral fluorite crystal Field Collected: Leroy Grant Catalog No.: u2535 Notes: Other cube faces are perpendicular to this face. Would guess the mica balls are muscovite.
