ZIRCON var. Cyrtolite Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH 1.9 mm crystal	Species: ZIRCON var. Cyrtolite Locality: Parker Mtn. Mine, Strafford, NH Specimen Size: 1.9 mm crystal Field Collected: Bob Wilken 2020 Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen & photo Notes:
ZIRCON in Beryl Prospect on knob, west of power line, near Hobart Hill, Hebron, NH 1.2 mm zircon crystal embedded on prism face of beryl crystal.	Species: ZIRCON in Beryl Locality: Prospect on knob, west of power line, near Hobart Hill, Hebron, NH Specimen Size: 1.2 mm zircon crystal embedded on prism face of beryl crystal. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: NC Notes: Good illustration of fracture cracking around a zircon crystal. When I collected this with Curt Laplante we thought we were at the Hobart Hill Mine, but we were not. We never did find the Hobart Hill Mine, but this pegmatite prospect had some nice, gemmy, beryl crystals.

ZIRCON Huricane Mtn., Conway, NH 2.7 cm specimen	Species: ZIRCON Locality: Huricane Mtn., Conway, NH Specimen Size: 2.7 cm specimen Field Collected: Roger Eastman Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen and photo. Acquired 8/22. A bit of arfvedsonite is present on the left side of the specimen.
ZIRCON Hurricane Mtn., Conway, NH 2.0 mm field of view	Species: ZIRCON Locality: Hurricane Mtn., Conway, NH Specimen Size: 2.0 mm field of view Field Collected: Bob Wilken, 2022. Catalog No.: u2643 Notes:
ZIRCON Ledge above Water Pocket, Blackberry Crossing, Albany, NH 0.7 mm zircon crystal	Species: ZIRCON Locality: Ledge above Water Pocket, Blackberry Crossing, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 0.7 mm zircon crystal Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2069 Notes: Classic zircon with prism faces and pyramid termination.
ZIRCON Water Pocket, Blackberry Crossing, Albany, NH 7 mm field of view.	Species: ZIRCON Locality: Water Pocket, Blackberry Crossing, Albany, NH Specimen Size: 7 mm field of view. Field Collected: Tom Mortimer Catalog No.: u2249 Notes: These zircons are fluorescent an intense yellow. A polished grain EDS analysis from this specimen indicated only a zirconium oxide = zircon. No thorium detected.
