This is simply one of the finest specimens I have come across from this classic 19th-Century locality. The medium-tan Smithsonite forms spectacular and sharp molds after Calcite, all on a firm Limonite matrix. The largest of the complete casts is a whopping 4 cm across, and the aesthetics of these pseudomorphs is quite good. A rare, cabinet sized classic from this old locality. Ex. Charlie Key.
