PYRITE Ore Hill Road Circle, Sugar Hill, NH 2.2 cm high crystal. Pyrite altering to limonite.	Species: PYRITE Locality: Ore Hill Road Circle, Sugar Hill, NH Specimen Size: 2.2 cm high crystal. Pyrite altering to limonite. Field Collected: Don Swenson - 5/2009 Catalog No.: A Don Swenson specimen Notes: This locality was the result of some residential construction.
PYRITE Johnson Rd., Bow, NH 0.2 mm pyrite crystal	Species: PYRITE Locality: Johnson Rd., Bow, NH Specimen Size: 0.2 mm pyrite crystal Field Collected: 2016 Catalog No.: u2083 Notes: Pyrite crystals, even tiny ones, are uncommon at this Bow locality, at least in the material I have reviewed.
PYRITE Dalton Gold Mine, Dalton, NH 6.5 cm specimen of sulfide minerals. Pyrite in upper left	Species: PYRITE Locality: Dalton Gold Mine, Dalton, NH Specimen Size: 6.5 cm specimen of sulfide minerals. Pyrite in upper left. Field Collected: Woody Thompson - Oct. 1998 Catalog No.: 2084 Notes: A voucher specimen for pyrite at the Dalton Mine. Woody collected this specimen while doing geologic mapping in the Whitefield quadrangle for the USGS.
PYRITE Pike Hooksett Quarry, Hooksett, NH 1.8 mm pyrite crystal cluster on quartz crystals	Species: PYRITE Locality: Pike Hooksett Quarry, Hooksett, NH Specimen Size: 1.8 mm pyrite crystal cluster on quartz crystals Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - 10/19 MMNE field trip Catalog No.: u2260 Notes:
PYRITE Rt. 101 - 101A road cut, Amherst, NH 1.5 mm pyritohedrons. Left one altering to limonite	Species: PYRITE Locality: Rt. 101 - 101A road cut, Amherst, NH Specimen Size: 1.5 mm pyritohedrons. Left one altering to limonite Field Collected: Tom Mortimer. Catalog No.: u288-altered, u310-fresh Notes:
PYRITE 110 Road Cut, W. Milan, NH Octahedral pyrite crystals to 2.2 mm	Species: PYRITE Locality: 110 Road Cut, W. Milan, NH Specimen Size: Octahedral pyrite crystals to 2.2 mm Field Collected: Cliff Trebilcock Catalog No.: A Cliff Trebilcock specimen Notes: Cliff has this labeled as "110 Road Cut, W. Milan, NH", but [tm] having visited this site, I think it is in Dummer, very close to the Milan town line. Octahedral pyrite is uncommon in NH.
PYRITE Rice Mine, N. Groton, NH, NH 0.8 mm pyrite crystal	Species: PYRITE Locality: Rice Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 0.8 mm pyrite crystal Field Collected: Clayton Ford ±1970 Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo Notes A voucher specimen for pyrite at the Rice Mine.
PYRITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 4 mm field of view	Species: PYRITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 4 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2297 Notes: My initial visual identification of these octahedrons was galena. A January, 2020 polished grain EDS analysis (BC374) indicated pyrite. A thin coating of some other mineral is suspected to be responsible for the silver gray appearance. The clear, flat-blade, sprays are gypsum.
PYRITE Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH 0.5 mm pyrite crystal	Species: PYRITE Locality: Aggregate Industries Quarry, Raymond, NH Specimen Size: 0.5 mm pyrite crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2297 Notes: The clear, flat-blade, sprays are gypsum.
