Greenockite-included smithsonite, in "turkey fat" style botryoids on a matrix of drusy quartz. There is a weird shallow line running through the smithsonite that is not damage or a crack per se....not as noticeable in person as in the photo. It is an amazingly colorful specimen for the locality, with much more pizzazz than one normally can expect from here. The spheres are a uniform .5 cm across. At first glance, this specimen resembles the superb deep yellow mimetite of San Pedro Corralitos, Mexico. 6 x 3.8 x 1.6 cm
