That is right, folks, there have actually been a small find of specimens at the classic old 79 Mine, as a couple of miners have gone back in there. I have not seen any more quality stuff lately, though, since the first batch came out a year or so ago. This plate of smithsonite is a velvety, lustrous deep moss green - very pretty - with accents of calcite. 6.8 x 6.7 x 2.3 cm
