Very unique example of smithsonite on smithsonite on a limonite matrix from a location I have never heard of, the Hidden Treasure mine in Utah. The specimen is incredible as it has two distinct generations of smithsonite. The first are dark green-blue boytroidal crystals which were deposited on the matrix. Then, light green radiating crystal groups were deposited on top of the dark green. The piece even has a couple of small calcite crystals present. A very appealing smithsonite for any collection and a killer location piece! Old unknown collection and Hauck collection labels are included with the specimen. 5.1 x 5.1 x 3.2 cm
