    Description: Foord et al. (1997) and Korzeb et al. (1997) made a determined effort to verify clarkeite from this locality and all specimens submitted to them did not contain clarkeite but were mixtures dominated by schoepite(Eugene Foord, personal communication, 1996). Previously, Frondel (1956) studied minerals from a wide variety of localities including many specimens from the Palermo #1 Pegmatite and he did not find clarkeite. Frondel(156) stated of clarkeite and its misidentifications: "Clarkeite is best identified by its X-ray powder pattern. It is indistinguishable (emphasis added) from the dark-brown types of oxidized uraninite..."

    Description: There is a large degree of uncertainty about the locality in NH for this species. Only PRIMARY reference is Young, E., Weeks, A., and Meyrowitz,R., 1966, Coconinoite, A New Uranium Mineral from Utah and Arizona, Am Min v 51:651-663 which states of the species: "... two from unknown localities, one from Wyoming, and one from New Hampshire, which is certainly in a different geologic environment..." The specimen is not elsewhere mentioned or described. There has been a strong folklore belief that the coconinoite mentioned was from the Ruggles Pegmatite because so many uranium minerals were found there and, at one time, were abundant. No subsequent discoveries of New Hampshire coconinoite have been made and the original reference specimen is lost.

There was only one worldwide pegmatite (North Carolina) where he did find curite in gummite. Clifford Frondel (1956) Mineral Composition of Gummite, American Mineralogist 41:539-568.

    Description: Mineral A of Frondel (1956). "Mineral A is particularly abundant at the Ruggles locality, where it is one of the chief constituents of the orange gummite pseudomorphs after dendritic aggregates of uraninite crystals for which the locality is noted... It occurs as microcrystalline aggregates of a bright-orange to orange-yellow or golden-yellow color. ... The luster varies from dull and earthy to weakly vitreous in hard, translucent aggregates."
