Descripción: Whitlockite Locality: Palermo No. 1 Mine (Palermo #1 pegmatite), Groton, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: large cabinet, 16 x 15 x 13 cm Whitlockite This huge specimen is probably the richest whitlockite specimen extent, for good quality, according to Whitmore and several people I consulted. He recovered it himself over 20 years ago from a small pocket in the mine he owns. It has great coverage and richness, but what really makes it notable are the huge, unusually well-developed crystals to nearly 1 centimeter. Most of the major crystals are clustered around one protected pocket, as well. Whitlockite is a very interesting species at the moment as some "whitlockites" have proven to be the new species Bobdownsite - this, however, is thought to remain a whitlockite. Pen shown for scale. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection.
