    Description

    THIS IS A SPECIMEN OF
    CRYSTALLINE JAROSITE ON GOETHITE MATRIX.
    IT IS FROM THE
    GLORY HOLE, GOLD HILL MINE, GOLD HILL, CLIFTON DISTRICT, TOOELE CO., UTAH
    .  THE SPECIMEN IS
    APPROXIMATELY 10 X 5 X 4 cm
    .  AND IT
    WEIGHS 249.6 gm.
    THE JAROSITE IS BRIGHT AND UNDAMAGED AND DISPLAYS WELL AND IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN THE PICTURES.  THE GOLD HILL DEPOSIT IS A POLYMETALLIC DEPOSIT AND IT WAS THE LARGEST KNOWN ARSENIC DEPOSIT KNOWN IN THE US.  THE MINE WAS OPERATED BY THE WESTERN UTAH COPPER COMPANY DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 20TH CENTURY.  THE STATE OF UTAH HAS SEALED ALL PORTALS AND THE CURRENT OWNER FORBIDS COLLECTING. IT IS A VERY NICE SPECIMEN.  VERY HARD TO OBTAIN TODAY.  SEE PICTURES.  I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.
