Interesting place to collect. I have been there twice, once collecting underground in the 150 level. Still have some unprocessed material in the shed. My first trip was with my wife. All her previous collecting experience was with zeolites. When we climbed up to the Glory Hole, she exclaime "color" due to the greens a blues.
Very interesting history of smithsonite and the Utah mine so full of treasures requiring great skill to identify. Never trust labels!

Excellent, Richard -- both the geological and the historical commentaries! Onward! Pat
