Smithsonite Pseudomorph after

Unknown Owner
This is a neat specimen with pseudomorphs of smithsonite after scalenohedral calcite crystals. What is unique about this specimen is the quartz on the front with an inclusion that is of a blue grey color. This association at the mine was very unusual. Ex. Terry Huizing, Peter Megaw
