StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (240)Site Photos (8)Search Google

Located near the village of North Groton, on the southeast flank of Bald Mountain. Mined for mica beginning in 1863; later for beryl, feldspar, and quartz. Since 1973 operated solely for mineral specimens, including many rare phosphate species. Granite pegmatite, Grafton field.

    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..."

The discreditation of pyrolusite in dendrite form by Potter and Rossman (1979) mean that any dendrites from this locality that were labeled as this species would be the first known in the world and would require considerable scientific effort to validate.
