Smithsonite replacing Dolomite, with the curving form of the former Dolomite crystal clearly evident. The surface of the matrix is also covered by a layer of velvety Smithsonite. This one in not the yellow color that the mine is best known for, but the large, isolated wavy crystal is spectacular and 1.7cm wide.
