Smithsonite replacing Dolomite

Unknown Owner
Classic specimen from Arkansas exhibiting crystals of dolomite measuring to 1.3 cm in size, these in the process of being replaced by brilliant yellow crystallized smithsonite. This is in good condition. Previous label gives the locality as the Monte Cristo mine, I am not so sure however that this doesn't come from the Philadelphia mine.
