FLUORITE  Government Pit, Albany, NH
9 mm field of view

Locality:         Government Pit, Albany, NH
Specimen Size: 9 mm field of view on a 5 cm specimen.
Field Collected: Gene Bearss
Catalog No.: u2676
Notes: This specimen came from a potato chip can of Gene Bearss (d. 2014) specimens unpacked by Bob Wilken, 2024. Gene was a most prolific field collector and left behind many buckets of carefully packed specimens from his years of collecting.
These transparent, pale-green, fluorite octahedrons are an outstanding example of their occurrance at the Government pit. These fluorite crystals are fluorescent a bright white in SW & LW UV.

Species:           FLUORITE
Locality:         West Alton, NH
Specimen Size: 7.2 mm field of view
Field Collected: Clayton Ford
Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo
Notes: [bw[ "Only location given is West Alton. This is an interesting specimen and it would be nice to have more specific location data. Perhaps a route 11 roadcut? The fluorite is not well formed, perhaps partially eroded and intermixed with what looks like clinichlore 'bundles'."
[tm] The green mineral in the upper left is thought to be the unknown seen in several Ellacoya Locality specimens."
