**Smithsonite—Think Zinc Ore and More**
— *John Rakovan*

Smithsonite is one of the most beautiful and internationally recognized minerals from New Mexico. Mineral museums around the world seek out New Mexico smithsonite samples to display to their visitors. The mineral occurs in at least 25 mining districts in the state, and historically was an important primary zinc ore in several of New Mexico’s largest and most significant zinc deposits, including the Magdalena and Fierro-Hanover mining districts.
