Palermo No. 1 Mine (Palermo #1 pegmatite), Groton, Grafton Co., New Hampshire, USA
Photo: 2004 Peter Cristofono
Fuller (1898) reported on a pocket at the mine which was said to be ten feet in diameter. A quartz crystal, three feet in diameter, was taken from the roof of the pocket, according to the mine superintendent at the time.
