PYRITE Palermo #1 Mine, Pod 1, N. Groton, NH 7 mm pyritohedron (pentagonal dodecahedron) crystal in triphylite matrix PYRITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 7 mm pyritohedron (pentagonal dodecahedron) crystal in triphylite matrix PYRITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Ted Johnson label	Species: PYRITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, Pod 1, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 7 mm pyritohedron (pentagonal dodecahedron) crystal in triphylite matrix. Two views Field Collected: Bob Whitmore. A Ray Meyers specimen Catalog No.: A Ray Meyers specimen Notes: This is an excellent pyrite specimen from Palermo.
PYRITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 2.2 mm field of view	Species: PYRITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 2.2 mm field of view Field Collected: Forrest Fogg - acquired from Gordon Jackson Catalog No.: u5201 Notes: [tm] In my experience, the octahedron form is the least common for pyrite at Palermo.
PYRITE Keyes Mine, N. Groton, NH 5 mm field of view, bipyramidal pyrite crystals on Albite	Species: PYRITE Locality: Keyes Mine, Orange, NH Specimen Size: 5 mm field of view, bipyramidal pyrite crystals on Albite Field Collected: Clayton Ford - acquired from Gordon Jackson Catalog No.: u933 Notes: These were identified by Clayton Ford as marcasite and I retained the marcasite ID for many years before being convinced these were pyrite. The dimorphs pyrite and marcasite are often difficult to distinguish.
PYRITE on Quartz crystals Red Hill, Moultonboro, NH 3.0 mm field of view	Species: PYRITE on Quartz crystals Locality: Red Hill, Moultonboro, NH Specimen Size: 3.0 mm field of view Field Collected: Tom Mortimer October, 2004. Catalog No.: u551 Notes: Pyrite altering to limonite on rust stained quartz crystals. Quartz is rare on Red Hill. I believe this is from a trip with Scott Whittemore in the 1990's when we spent several hours exploring different areas on the hill.
