QUARTZ   Mine Falls Park, Nashua, NH
6 cm specimen

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.
