Very neat and colorful locality piece consisting of a 12.0 x 7.6 x 2.1 cm brecciated matrix, this covered on all sides by pale greenish botryoidal crystallized smithsonite. Scattered richly over the top of this smithsonite are micro sky-blue sparkling crystals of aurichalcite. No damage - a neat combination piece that is very pretty for this Utah locality! Ex Dawn and Jim Minette collection #S326. Ref: Rocks & Minerals 83:1 pp 52-62.
