Galena from
Mascot Mine, Gorham, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Galena
Formula:PbS
Comments:Galena was the principle ore mined at this site. The miners did a good job of recovering it for shipping to the smelter. Few specimens of any size - massive or as matrix-frozen crystals - remain to be found in the dumps. Crystals frozen in matrix are impossible to trim out into good mineral specimens. Therefore specimen-quality materials are largely restricted to secondary micro-crystals in vugs. A number of worthwhile finds have been made of these - showing some interesting modifications of the basic cubic shape.
Habit:Massive, in pods to 14" across, veins to 10" wide, and stringers/veinlets to 1" wide. Also as matrix-frozen cubic crystals; and as cubic, modified cubo-octahedral, and octahedral micro-crystals.
Colour:Silvery-grey, may be either shinning metallic or dull metallic.
Luminescent properties:none
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:Wet Chemical
