Description: CADMIAN SMITHSONITE pseudomorphous after DOLOMITE: Monte Cristo Mine, Rush, Marion Co., Arkansas, USA. Dimensions: 8.0 x 4.5 x 3.5cm, small cabinet. This is an old-time specimen of rich, yellow Cadmian Smithsonite pseudomorphing saddle-shaped Dolomite crystals from the historic Monte Cristo zinc mine at Rush, Arkansas. The Monte Cristo was operated sporadically in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The vibrant, lemon-yellow Cadmian Smithsonite on this colorful piece is replacing the Dolomite and also forms distinct, but tiny, 1 mm, bright yellow Cadmian Smithsonite crystals on the pseudomorphs themselves! There is some bruising around the periphery that actually shows the Smithsonite pseudomorphing of the Dolomite! This is one of the most rare of USA Smithsonites, and this is both big and beautiful!
