QUARTZ Beebe River, Campton, NH 19 cm specimen	Species: QUARTZ Locality: Beebe River, Campton, NH Specimen Size: 19 cm specimen Field Collected: unknown Campton, NH resident Catalog No.: NC Notes: Don Dallaire and Bob Whitmore acquired many similar large quartz plates from a Campton, NH resident in 1984. This was one Don acquired. Don opined that this may have come from one of several quarries adjacent to the Beebe River. Another possibility is that they may have come from the mine tunnel just below the falls on the Beebe River in Campton, photo. I concluded on my visit that the only way to access the tunnel would be to swim across (or a float) in August. Morrill lists "Old Gold Mine, accessible only by wading, at falls on Beebe River in cliff." Morrill lists tetrahedrite here, an NH species that I have never found.... that prompted my visit.
