A locality specimen from this classic Wisconsin locality circa mid-1800s, in all likelihood. This is a pseudomorph of Smithsonite (not hydrozincite), having replaced calcite crystals. Most pseudos from here are of the heftier species smithsonite, as this one is, and I have seen many others of them from old collections.
