JC10963. Rosasite, hemimorphite, hydrozincite, smithsonite. Zinc Hill mine, Zinc Hill subdistrict, Darwin district, Inyo county, California. 8 x 10 cm 622g. $50.00 Near the same place as the malachite/rosasite/hemimorphite area was a zone of smithsonite/rosasite/hemimorphite/willemite. On this piece, a somewhat oxidized smithsonite bearing matrix has hydrozincite with hemimorphite, some coated black. Rosasite covers about 1/4 of the area with little specs of later hydrozincite? sitting on it and the hemimorphite. Implanted on this is hemimorphite, some coated with the unknown black mineral, and lastly hydrozincite. I wrote the Zinc Hill mine up in the Mineralogical Record. I kept a dozen or so pieces of the best quality from this find, and decided to de-access some of them here. These were collected in 1970. As a side note, at that time you could drive up to Darwin Falls, a year round waterfall in a canyon not too far from the mine. I would get up at 4 a.m., dig minerals until noon (this was in July), then retire to the falls and stand under the water off and on until dark...more fun. See Min. Rec. Vol. 16, P.110-113 1975 |
