Well formed crystals of yellow/pink Smithsonite on a sulfide matrix. The crystals reach 1.3 cm in size with some having an interesting bi-color of half yellow and half pink. These yellow Smithsonites are typically labelled as 'Cadmium Smithsonite', however my understanding is that this is not correct as the coloring agent is not known.
