Species: QUARTZ Locality: Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH Specimen Size: 6 cm specimen Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: 970 Notes: These quartz crystal clusters came from a basket-ball sized pocket from the "mine island" side of the principal quartz vein. Limonite residue in this pocket indicated that much of the space not occupied by quartz was filled with a sulfide mineral, perhaps pyrrhotite. As New Hampshire quartz specimens go, these are not particularly attractive, but for a southern NH locality, they are relatively large. |
