 | | Good uraninite specimens have been found at the famous Palermo and Ruggles mines in Grafton County, New Hampshire; dendritic uraninite intergrowths and associated brightly colored secondary minerals in perthitic feldspar from the latter occurrence are widely represented in collections. |
 | | Other often-referenced pegmatitic occurrences that have historically produced well-crystallized uraninite, typically as octahedra with individuals to about 1 cm across, include Connecticut localities at Branchville, Ridgefield, Upper Merryall, Haddam Neck (Rock Landing No. 1 quarry), Glastonbury (Pelton's quarry), and the Strickland, Andrew's, and Hale quarries, Portland (Januzzi 1961). |
 | | Good specimens are reported from the pegmatite exploited in the Baylis quarry at Bedford, Westchester County, and from a locality at Richville Station, St. Lawrence County, New York. |
