Smithsonite pseudo after ?baryte? specimen, Kelly Mine, Magdalena, New Mexico

Description: Smithsonite after ?Baryte? Kelly Mine, Magdalena Mining District, Socorro County, New Mexico ~2.5 x 2.5 x 4.5 cm, 29.5 grams This is an interesting specimen of grey-blue smithsonite from one of the world's most renowned localities for smithsonite. I believe the smithsonite is a pseudomorph / epimorph of a tabular baryte crystal - see the photos and video. The bottom surface of the specimen has a thin skin of botryoidal rusty-colored limonite/goethite that was overgrown by the smithsonite. The smithsonite has good luster, but there are a few chips. Ex. Steve Hardinger / Dragon Minerals. About the deposit: The Kelly mine is a former lode Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au mine located 5.1 km SE of Magdalena, near the headwaters of Kelly Gulch. The mine was discovered and first produced in 1878. It closed to commercial ore mining in 1957. Mineralization is hosted in the Kelly Limestone of the Magdalena Group (359-331 Ma). Ore emplacement occurred when hydrothermal activity / mineralized solutions rose along fractures and replaced favorable host rock, circa 29-26 Ma.
