CHILDRENITE with laueite & strunzite Palermo Mine, Groton, NH 4.7 mm field of view	Species: CHILDRENITE with laueite & strunzite Locality: Palermo Mine, Groton, NH Specimen Size: 4.7 mm field of view Field Collected: An original Bob Whitmore boxed specimen Catalog No.: u2806 Notes: A nice combo specimen
ANGLESITE Madison Lead Mine, Madison, NH A 0.45 mm crystal	Species: ANGLESITE Locality: Madison Lead Mine, Madison, NH Specimen Size: A 0.45 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen & photo Notes: An unusual lemon yellow crystal. This comes from trace lattice defects and minor substitutions (usually Fe³? or other trace ions). These don’t require visible inclusions — they can tint the crystal uniformly. Classic anglesite localities (e.g., Monteponi, Sardinia) produce bright yellow crystals that are chemically pure.
ANGLESITE Madison Lead Mine, Madison, NH A minute 0.23 mm crystal	Species: ANGLESITE Locality: Madison Lead Mine, Madison, NH Specimen Size: A minute 0.23 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen & photo Notes:
