TORBERNITE    Plume Mine, N. Groton, NH
0.5 mm bipyramidal crystal
Species:           TORBERNITE
Locality:          Plume Mine, N. Groton, NH
Specimen Size: 0.5 mm bipyramidal crystal
Field Collected: Bob Wilken
Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo
Notes: [bw] "This isn't the best or the sharpest torbernite xl I have. In fact, it's a little granular. At the beginning stage of deterioration? But ... it's ... probably the best example of a bipyramidal one that I have from anywhere. My Plume ones are a little on the big s side and look paler than when I put them in boxes." [tm] Torbernite crystals seem to loose their intense green color as they age.
