URANINITE Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH 2 mm cubo-octahedral uraninite crystals with yellow uranophane.	Species: URANINITE Locality: Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm cubo-octahedral uraninite crystal with yellow uranophane. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - Aug 2011 Catalog No.: 1798 Notes: The specimen is highly radioactive, collected from pegmatite ledge. A. Smith & G. Bearss do not report uraninite in their species list included with their article "The Weeks Pegmatite Mine," Rocks & Minerals vol. 66, No 2, Mar/Apr 1991. However, A. Smith, Mineral News vol 18, no. 4, Apr. 2002, pg 2, reports an Excaliber Minerals analysis of a Ham-Weeks specimen of "thorian-rich uraninite."

Species: URANINITE Locality: Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm cubo-octahedral uraninite crystals with yellow uranophane. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer - Aug 2011 Catalog No.: 1798 Notes: Specimen highly radioactive, collected from pegmatite ledge.
URANINITE Beryl Mtn., South access road, Acworth, NH 2.2 cm specimen of sub-hedral uraninite crystals embedded in orange feldspar	Species: URANINITE Locality: Beryl Mtn., South access road, Acworth, NH Specimen Size: 2.2 cm specimen of sub-hedral uraninite crystals embedded in orange feldspar Field Collected: Fred Davis (2011) Catalog No.: 1794 Notes:
URANINITE Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH 2.7 cm specimen. Black uraninite with yellow uranophane? and minor red feldspar.	Species: URANINITE Locality: Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH Specimen Size: 2.7 cm specimen. Black uraninite with yellow uranophane? and minor red feldspar. Field Collected: Gene Bearss Catalog No.: Notes: Uraninite verified by Fred Davis EDS analysis, (GB30), on polished grain from this specimen. Uraninite has only recently been added to the Ham-Weeks mineral species list.
URANINITE Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH 3.7 cm specimen. Black uraninite with yellow uranophane? and red feldspar.	Species: URANINITE Locality: Ham-Weeks Mine, Wakefield, NH Specimen Size: 3.7 cm specimen. Black uraninite with yellow uranophane? and red feldspar. Field Collected: Gene Bearss Catalog No.: Off site storage Notes: Uraninite also verified by Fred Davis EDS analysis, (GB31), on polished grain from this second specimen.
URANINITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 2 mm zones of uraninite altering to pale tan schoepite? (not fluorescent). Over-all specimen is 4.5 cm URANINITE Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH 2 mm zones of uraninite altering to pale tan schoepite? (not fluorescent). Over-all specimen is 4.5 cm	Species: URANINITE Locality: Palermo Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 2 mm zones of uraninite altering to pale tan schoepite? (not fluorescent). Over-all specimen is 4.5 cm Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u1438 Notes: Some fluorescence in the bright yellow mineral areas indicating the presence of autunite, but most of the bright yellow mineral crust is likely phosphuranylite or uranophane.
URANINITE Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH 6 mm field of view. Pair of black uraninite crystals.	Species: URANINITE Locality: Chandlers Mill Mine, Newport, NH Specimen Size: 6 mm field of view. Pair of black uraninite crystals. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u1506 Notes: Uraninite has not been previously reported from the Chandlers Mill Mine. This small crystal group is intensely radio-active.
