Joplin Field

Jasper County, Missouri, USA

Joplin Field is a catch-all locale for a lead-zinc deposit around Joplin, Missouri, where the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri meet.

The area is primarily known for lead and zinc minerals, and fine calcites – typically a scalenohedral golden yellow calcite.

Sometimes particular mines are mentioned, but this is uncommon.
