Smithsonite on Dolomite
specimen number:
1691013
location:
Philadelphia Mine, Rush, Marion Co., Arkansas, USA
description:
Beautiful example showing near freestanding saddle shaped crystals of dolomite to 1.5 cm in size coated in being replaced by bright yellow crystallize smithsonite. Very minimal micro-chipping present is seen. This is crystallized all around, I think quite nice for this locality. Measures 5.0 x 3.5 x 1.0 cm. Known locally as Turkey Fat smithsonite, the yellow color likely due to cadmium. Classic Arkansas material collected in the 1970s. Shipping weight: 0.08 pounds.
Size: 5.0 x 3.5 x 1.0 cm (miniature)
