Smithsonite replacing Dolomite

Unknown Owner
Classic specimen from Arkansas, this showing yellow crystallized smithsonite replacing previous curved rhombohedral crystals of dolomite across the top of a crystalline quartz matrix. Slight chipping present as seen. This is crystallized completely all around. Very nice for this long closed locality.
