Cadmium Smithsonite Oronogo Field, Tri-State District, Jasper Co., Missouri 3.1cm x 2.75cm x 2.56cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, old time example of cadmium smithsonite from this seldom referenced locale!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of botryoidal, translucent cadmium smithsonite on a chert matrix!!! There is a small amount of galena and sphalerite in association as well that can be seen on the sides of the specimen!!! Even more exciting is the fact that there appears to be two smithsonite pseudomorphs after cubes of galena!!! Specimens from the Oronogo Field (which is several miles north of Joplin) are very rarely seen on the market today!!! This specimen retains an old dealer label!!!
